This will be brought to the next meeting for review. We discussed the new meat market that is coming to town. This will be located in the new strip mall which will go in tow lyd the end of the Target! Cub Foods mall area. This will impact the Elk River Meat Market, and we want to work with them to support and bring mors: business to our downtown market. We are a family of businesses, who want to see more uniform support for our local merchants. We will )e working with all of the downtown businesses to promote their business, a ad wish to have all area owners and managers attend our meeting to see hcw we can help! Steve Rolf, came up with a great idea, to work in conjunction with the Art Soup Festival this June. His idea was to have all b isinesses, dress to fit the era or year your building was constructed. For example, Daddy O's could • dress in a 50's style dress during the Art Soup wec kend, or the Houlton Building renters could dress like the turn of the ce ltury as this building was built in 1903. We could then promote the Art Souls Festival by sharing our historic theme with all customers. It would bring x eople downtown to look in all businesses for the different styles and dress f rom that era. Paul H. will be working on this idea and bring some suggestion s to the next meeting. Art Soup has a lot of history in it's theme, from the 1970's- through WW1. Cindy made motion for the club to take this on as :t project, and it was seconded by Sara. Let's all help with this plan, it s 7ould be great fun. Cathy M, from the EDA, brought up the fact that tl sere is a current market study being done in the Central Business District. This study is being done by Maxfield Research Group, who may be calling ;rou to interview you on your idea's as to what type of businesses are needed downtown. The HRA Downtown Redevelopment Plan will include the Historical significance of buildings and the current condition of the building:.. This research should be done in May, and this will be looked at not only by the HRA but other organizations as to what is needed to assist downto wn development. Be sure to make time for these people when they contact yc.u, as your input is very important to the research. Promo's and Advertising by Anne and Marlys:
