CCDA, city council liaison say new mandate needed
Poll
Yes
Both the head of the City Centre Development Agency and city council’s liaison with the business improvement district say a new mandate for the organization is needed and perhaps a more solid line drawn between it and city hall.
CCDA chair Jeremy Silver, however, says the city can’t have it both ways considering a growing controversy over the group’s new budget and confusion among downtown business owners.
“There’s been a lot of feedback and it’s not positive,” said Silver on Tuesday.
The document deletes $100,000 from the city that previously went toward a grant program for leasehold improvements and general street beautification.
