• A question was raised: How do we have more say as residents in events downtown? Suggestions were made such as establishing an ambassador program for the DCRA members to integrate with local event companies.
• LaTonia suggested a DCRA fundraising event in Public Square that would incorporate table rentals, music, festivities, and help promote the downtown community for residents and tourists.
