As a small, mostly volunteer run non-profit organization with limited funds,
it is important that the BIZ carefully prioritize its strategies and
budget. With a dual mandate of physical enhancement and marketing the
board makes every effort to provide a proper balance of fund allocation and
programs. Over the past year we have also spent a lot of time re-evaluating our
organizational structure and have made a move towards a more "hands
on" role of the board.
We are excited to now be making plans for a
number of larger landscaping
and streetscaping initiatives that will be the best investment of our limited
dollars and provide the most visual impact on the street. This has begun
with the installation of permanent planters on the St. Mary's Rd. median and the
traffic triangles on Marion and Goulet at Youville, with our next focus being
the entryway at Archibald and Marion.
We are proud of our
long-standing record of leveraging our dollars, developing creative programming,
and ensuring our role in creating a vibrant and dynamic community.
