Recommendations for Action

Summary:

After the initial brainstorming sessions, the three breakout groups presented their ideas to the entire group. Based on the other groups’ presentations, the breakout groups then reconvened to create a list of short- and long-term suggestions for the business district. Each person in attendance then voted for his/her three most preferred short- and long-term items. The results were as follows (those with the highest number of votes being listed first).
