Also NEW this week... Downtown Works Retail Recruitment Tour
On Wednesday, April 30 the Fashion District BID hosted a Downtown Works workshop, that included a tour of the LA Flower District, Los Angeles Street, and Broadway. The group visited the Fashion District with the goal of developing retail plans for the Flower District and Santee Alley. The recruiters would serve as matchmakers between the property owners and qualified shop and restaurant prospects. Downtown Works is a retail recruitment consulting company based in Seattle, Washington. For more information on Downtown Works visit their website here. Thanks to our board members Hilda Jimenez and Steve Hirsh and Frank Reyes with the American Florist Exchange for being our tour guides! Street Closure Committee Meets
Street closures have been a forefront concern in Downtown as the community has experienced significant construction, public infrastructure improvements, filming and special events in the area in the past few years. Councilmember Jose Huizar has formed the Downtown Street Closure Committee in response to the increasingly high volume of street closure requests that the City receives in the Downtown area.
This committee is an advisory committee to the Council Office which meets monthly to evaluate significant street closure requests and address the concerns of residents and businesses. Discussion items included a number of large-scale special events that have been proposed in the next few months. The committee consists of representatives from the Neighborhood Councils, Business Improvement Districts, and the Downtown business community. BID Managing Director Lynn Myers represents the Fashion District.
