Roosevelt Row is one step closer to having its own business improvement district as the Downtown, Aviation, and Redevelopment Subcommittee unanimously recommended on Tuesday that city council establish the district.
In November, city council will vote on a resolution of intent, outlining the details of the district before final approval. If the resolution passes, a certified letter will notify all property owners of the upcoming final vote, which will occur in December.
The purpose of the project is to increase services offered to the district, such as quicker graffiti removal, trash removal, which the city doesn’t currently provide, and event management in the hopes of attracting further investment and development.
