IDA Achievement Award Submission
|
 The DTC, with the support of the Rotary Club of St. Cloud and the City of St. Cloud, is proud to announce an award submission to the International Downtown Association (IDA) for Summertime by George! The DTC is a member of the IDA.
Submissions are judge on the following criteria:
- Innovation: Does the project or program offer an innovative or unique approach to a downtown management or development challenge?
- Replication: Does the entry present a solution others could modify for their own downtown circumstances?
- Representation: Is the project or program inclusive? Were partnerships employed to get the job done? Was the community involved in the effort? Please specify the role of the applicant and the downtown organization.
- Sustainability: Sustainability can be defined as the longevity of a program (growth, self-funding, self-sustaining) the positive environmental impact of a program (environmentally conscious)
Entries will be judged on one or both.
- Execution: What were the steps leading up to the outcome of the project?
- Outcome: Was the impact of the effort significant? How was it measured? Was it compared to an initial goal? Describe how your project benefits the downtown and your organization.
Awards will be made at the 61st Annual IDA Conference at the end of September in San Francisco. Summertime by George! is an exemplary project in the field of downtown revitalization clearly exceeding the above criteria, and worthy of acknowledgement and recognition.
Thank you all, and we're hoping for the best.
