Special meeting
The Council of the Commons held a special meeting on July 7, 2021 at 4 p.m. to have a deeper discussion on near-term opportunities to activate the space. At this meeting, staff from the city and the Downtown Development Authority shared information and answered questions about the space and processes in place that allow for use of the space. The Council of the Commons then worked to prioritize near-term opportunities and prepare for developing a set of recommendations for City Council. Video of the meeting is available on YouTube.
