DNA Position Statements -
Respectfully submitted to the
City Commission on May 7, 2009 for the President and Board of
Directors.
The Downtown Neighborhood Association does not
support the plan for Redevelopment or Flood
mitigation because it includes the
destruction of downtown buildings.
This includes but is not limited to the properties
identified in the Redevelopment Plan on Buffalo St. and Tipton
St., buildings bordering W. Main and W. Market from Buffalo
St. to Boone St., and McClure St. from W. Market St. to King
St.
What we have learned from the past is the destruction
of buildings like the Arcade Building, the Majestic
Theater building, the Train
Station, the numerous buildings in the 100 block of W.
Market & W. Main were a part of downtown heritage and
culture that is now gone forever.
DNA would fully support and work with the
City/JCDA on a Redevelopment/Flood mitigation plan that does
not involve the destruction of downtown buildings.
Respectfully submitted to the
City Commission on May 13, 2009 for the President and Board of
Directors.
The Downtown Neighborhood Association is in
favor of the City licensing and regulating food cart street
vendors.
We fully support our downtown restaurateurs
and think this will add another dining dimension to downtown.
