2025.02.03 Simply put my message to the downtown owners is: The city did not take appropriate steps to communicate the district overlay nor did they listen to any concerns in the passing of it. This is the first step of many to achieve their desired goals. To encourage the city to take a more appropriate and ethical path with this entire project we encourage your vote of protest against the ordinance. We are hopeful this will encourage appropriate outreach, communication, and transparency moving forward. Rollie Hruza
