DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
ANNUAL REPORT 1995
In 1995 the Downtown Development Authority continued its efforts to
effect the growth and revitalization of the central business
district. In keeping with this goal, the Board decided to continue
to review all projects on a monthly basis, lest smaller or time
sensitive issues be lost in the larger project pool.
It was also mutually agreed that the Landmark Preservation
Commission (LPC) and Downtown Development Authority (DDA) should
forge a closer link, by having a member of the LPC attend Board
Meetings in a non voting capacity, to act as liaison.
The following projects were undertaken and brought to completion:
• Perennial Gardener
• Remington Court
• Linden's Bourbon Street
• ADI building
• Welch Building (Children's Mercantile)
• Harmony Mill
Projects considered priorities by the Board of Directors at the
beginning of the year were as follows:
• Court House • Poudre River
• Parking Plan • Zoning
• Pedestrian friendly alleys
It has been rewarding to see these projects undertaken and to
recognize the work done by the City, DDA and other entities, which
have taken them beyond the planning stage to a point where they are
now ready to take on substance.
Other projects deemed priorities by the DDA are shown below:
• Northern Hotel • East Mountain Avenue
• Jefferson Truck Traffic • Hotel/Convention Center
• Housing • Day Care
• Cultural Improvements
Two new members were appointed to the Board of Directors in 1995
they are Jason Meadors and Kermit Allard. Ed Baldwin's term of
office was complete and a plaque in appreciation for his service
was presented. Councilman Chuck Wanner continues as liaison to DDA
from the City Council.
