Warsaw Hires Firm To Study Downtown Rehab
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Warsaw is the third city to sign up with HyettPalma Inc.'s Downtown Program, Mayor Ernie Wiggins said during Tuesday's council meeting.
The company is a national firm specializing in the economic renaissance of downtowns and older business districts.
Operated by consultants Doyle Hyett and Dolores Palma, based in Virginia, the firm will study the community and recommend a five-year market-driven course of action for the private and public sectors.
The company is sponsored by the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns. It is the association's stance that communities cannot continue to "drift aimlessly" without a plan and expect to compete for a portion of the more than $3 trillion in annual retail businesses.
The fee for the Downtown Action Agenda is $30,150.
A preliminary meeting is set in Warren Aug. 13. Council member Trish Brown will attend this meeting along with Wiggins to meet with Palma.
A focus committee of 12 people will be set up to meet with Palma in Warsaw in November. [[In-content Ad]]
