Ted Davis of TR Associates asked the DDA Board for $25,000 for
improvements in the alley next to his project, Mountain Avenue Plaza
and help with the streetscape. Dick Dunn, architect for the project,
presented his renderings of the project. Mr. Davis showed that his
project would provide public access from Mountain Avenue to the
LaPorte Parking lot with a potential tie-in to the opera house
access point to College Aveune, restoration of potentially historic
buildings and replacing some of downtown's ugliest store fronts, act
as a catalyst to bring renovation to West Mountain Avenue, and
finally, that the project would compliment the development that has
occured in the Old Town area.
Mr. Davis asked that a letter of support be sent to the City for his
company's request of Industrial Revenue Bonds. Bill Kingsbury
suggested that the DDA could talk to Claude Webber, owner of
Woolworth's, to participate in fixing up the area.
A straw poll was taken of the members present (Dan Larsen and Eldon
Ward were not present for this poll) and the results were
unanimously positive. Each Board member encouraged the project to
proceed and indicated willingness to participate in public
improvements associated with the renovation efforts.
There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned.
