Business Association Forming
Local businesses invited to "Exploratory Meeting"
Next
week, on Wednesday 1/20/2010 from 7:30-9am, local businesses,
organizations, public officials, bankers, and business support groups
will gather in Metropolitan University's Great Hall (the big
building
with large windows facing Downtown) to consider, and/or simply
establish, a Dayton's Bluff Business Association.
There
a 4 Business Associations on the Eastside, 3 of which are local to a
given portion of the Eastside. Dayton's Bluff once had a
vibrant
Business Association called the East 7th St. Business Association, but
as the avenue changed, and employers came and went, the association
declined and is no longer active.
This
effort is focused on considering whether a Dayton's Bluff Area Business
Association should be formed to include all businesses in the
community, as well as those adjacent to the community.
Options
include: forming a Dayton's Bluff business association, or encouraging
local businesses to join one of the other Eastside Associations, or to
do nothing.
The
event is sponsored by Metropolitan State University, the Dayton's Bluff
Community Council, and several local businesses and other
organizations. Those sponsoring the meeting feel that an
active and
effective association would raise the profile of the community and its
businesses, help promote local businesses, help get available financial
and marketing resources to local businesses, and generally strengthen
the local business climate and economy.
Attendance
is free and a free continental breakfast is provided. Low
cost parking
is available in the University Parking lot on Maria between E.6th st.
and E. 7th St. More info: ed@daytonsbluff.org,
or call 651-772-2075 and ask for Ed or Karin.
