Session 1 - February 9, 2016
The first session was facilitated by Racine County Economic Development Corporation (RCEDC) and included a review of the key findings of three major activities that occurred in 2015:
- Downtown business owner one-one-one meetings
- Chamber-published community-wide survey
- The major findings and recommendations of the City's retail market analysis
The first session also kicked off the Downtown Strategic Plan update process by having the group respond to two questions considering the key findings of research and data collected:
1) Identify top downtown retail and destination businesses types to recruitment, and
2) Identify top priority sites/buildings in downtown to which businesses should be recruited.
