LRC has different functions and authorities than other commissions. <br />+ Strengthen Communications. There is a need for increased communication from <br />the LRC with Council, the community, and with local business and building owners. <br />+ Strategize + Plan. While projects and ideas emerge very quickly, the LRC would like <br />to be more proactive in outlining the focus areas and support available where <br />Louisville wants to see investment and improvement. <br />+ Understand Beneficiaries. Creating a stronger connection with the small, local <br />businesses and building owners as well as citizens, will allow LRC to ensure their <br />focus areas are meaningful to the community. <br />+ Pre -Approved Funds Worked. Using the Facade Improvement Program model to <br />shape support for other small investments that support the community vision. <br />+ Proactively Support City Planning Efforts. The LRC will work to establish focus <br />areas that reinforce the City's vision. The LRC could support the planning effort for <br />the downtown urban renewal area in advance of the comprehensive plan update. <br />+ Develop Awareness. The Louisville Revitalization Commission wishes to partner <br />with the City Council to build awareness of the Louisville Revitalization <br />Commission role and vision for development and redevelopment within the Plan <br />Area. <br />LOUISVILLE REVITALIZATION COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />DOWNTOWN COLORADO, INC. www.downtowncoloradoinc.org PA22 <br />
