Received this email a few moments ago from a relatively new downtown property owner / merchant. After over 10 years downtown, I don't know how to reply. Any ideas?
QuoteJerry,
I'm a little confused about who or what is charged with the responsibility of the revitalization of downtown. If it is one, two, or three entities, which one's have been charged what specific responsibilities? Are there several entities working against each other? Is it the old power struggle problem; perhaps people wanting all the credit for anything done right.
I see and hear so many negatives about most everything existing and being done and not being done, I am wondering who or what to attribute any failings.
Can you answer this in five sentences or less.
I'm not sure how to reply but knowing human history, a small (friendly?) war will happen where all those entities will duke it out for the top spot/vision/plan/ideals. The winner of that war will be the one to control downtown. Either that or downtown splits and each group takes over control of a small part of it.
So, it's possible that we may experience an event in the near future approximating a Battle Royale?
