DCI + LOUISVILLE DOWNTOWN ASSESSMENT <br />Louisville engaged in an interactive tour and dialogue between Louisville <br />Revitalization Commission (LRC), City of Louisville Leadership, Louisville Downtown <br />Stakeholders, and a team of Downtown Colorado, Inc. (DCI) experts to identify <br />improvements that will make the most significant impacts towards the community <br />vision. <br />SMALL MOVES + QUICK WINS <br />There are several areas where behind the scenes investments will make a big <br />difference in building capacity, community engagement, and curating the built <br />environment for locals and visitors. The following list gathers ideas generated from <br />all of the feedback into categories for review and implementation. <br />1) IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE <br />A primary idea for inspiring locals to utilize the downtown; support the small <br />business; and invest both time and money in creating a vital community is <br />accentuating a unique experience. <br />2) ENHANCE CONNECTIVITY <br />Continuing the idea of the experience, work to enhance connectivity and leverage <br />the proximity of this great downtown as a quick win for the community. <br />3) MANAGEMENT + GOVERNANCE <br />There is a consistent response from community members demonstrating <br />uncertainty in status, processes, timelines, and standards for community and <br />economic development. <br />4) COMMUNICATE THE VISION <br />A primary challenge in the community seems to be a gap in communication or <br />education about the vision, resources, and opportunities that are available to <br />support quality of life. <br />5) UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY PREFERENCES <br />As the LRC considers the larger project opportunities, it will be important to <br />understand the preferences and projects that the community would get behind. <br />6) SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS + PROPERTY OWNERS <br />Louisville has experienced a migration of retail and service businesses from the LRC <br />plan areas to nearby communities, creating leakage. <br />LOUISVILLE REVITALIZATION COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />DOWNTOWN COLORADO, INC. www.downtowncoloradoinc.org PA23 <br />
