Please join us at the Downtown Design Charrette where residents, business owners, elected and appointed officials, members of the consultant team, and other stakeholders will work together to create a detailed vision for Downtown St. Cloud. Participants will form into small "breakout" groups to map out their own "visions" for the future of the Downtown. You will also have an opportunity to identify desirable uses and features for few specific sites within the Downtown. These include the Lady Slipper Lot, the north Downtown Riverfront, the Swan Lot and nearby residential areas, and Cooper Avenue near Division Street.

 

Input received will be used to create a detailed Downtown Sub-Area Plan that defines the long-term role and character of this important area and identifies priority projects and improvements for the future.

I couldn't make the State of The City Address, but it sounds like good news for Downtown St. Cloud.  Thanks for everything you do, as I'm sure none of this would be happening if it wasn't for your hard work.

Thanks!

Brett E. Anderson, Branch Manager Sentry Bank

 

We are happy to report that we have reached 92% renewal rate of our membership so far and expect to reach 98%.  Thank you all for your continued investment in the organization and Downtown.  Members that have not renewed by April 30th will, unfortunately, no longer receive the benefits of DTC membership such as discount pricing, map listings, website listings, etc. so renew today! 

Save the date -- Friday, May 8th.  [date change]

The DTC coordinates a Spring Downtown Cleanup each year.  Volunteers spiff up the Downtown by picking up garbage, weeding and cleaning out the planters (we'll be placing greenery and flowers early June in all of the planters).  

The cleanup will be in and around a 30-block area within the Downtown core, behind the convention center along the trail and the Eastside.  We'll focus on the sidewalks and around the parking lots.

Business owners and staff together with the City all join in the cleanup.  There will be 2 shifts:

     9 am - noon  (lunch provided at noon after shift)

     1 pm - 4pm   (lunch provided at noon prior to shift)   

Please bring gloves and small shovels.  We will have garbage bags.  

Volunteers for is annual event and help beautify our Downtown.  Please send an email to Pegg to volunteer; indicate how many and which shift(s) as well. 

We hope that all of the Downtown businesses will take it upon themselves to do this daily, but particularly on May 8th.
