2011 State of the Downtown

On Thursday, October 27, 2011, over 150 people gathered for the 2011 State of the Downtown. The event included remarks by City of Madison Economic Development Director, Aaron Olver and the presentation of the 2011 State of the Downtown metrics report presented by George Austin, AVA Civic Enterprises Inc., Paul Muench, Urban Land Interests, Mary Carbine, Madison's Central Business Improvement District and Ruth Shelly, Madison Children's Museum. This report provides a set of benchmarks to be updated annually in order to more thoroughly understand where public and private resources can most effectively be utilized to achieve a vibrant downtown.

For those who have viewed a copy of the report, DMI is currently seeking feedback, comments and/or observations. To provide your feedback online, click here.

Thank you to the 2011 State of the Downtown sponsors!
