I staff the DDA and we haven't had an opening in several years. We currently have one opening but no interviews have been scheduled to date. The DDA was created as a result of state enabling legislation that requires a majority of the DDA board members either own downtown property or have a business interest in the downtown district.

An unattributed allegation--what help is that? You heard--from whom? The city--who, exactly? And when? local applicants--again, who? conflicts--any specifics? I detest that kind of inflammatory post, if you've got something to share, let's hear it. I’m interested, too, because without more information, it’s a troubling comment.

You heard–from whom?
The city–who, exactly? And when?
local applicants–again, who?
conflicts–any specifics?
I detest that kind of inflammatory post, if you’ve got something to share, let’s hear it.

So maybe my voice can help.I just faxed in my 'statement of interest.' I'll let you know what comes of it. Okay, I’m not nearly as snarky in person as I am on threads. So maybe my voice can help.

If true, I would hope the city would reconsider - no one is more vested in the success of downtown than individual, local business owners.
