URGENT - Help Downtown Leesburg - Attend Town Council Mtg 24 Mar 09, 7:30 pm
Current mood:
anxious Referenced Email:
Now is the time to make your opinion heard!
Over
the last several weeks and months the members of the Downtown
Improvement Association who make up the Board of Directors, the Design
and Infrastructure Committee as well as the Advocacy Committee have
continued to meet and advance the DIA PLAN for infrastructure improvements in Downtown Leesburg.
DIA
has been fully engaged with reviewing, meeting with town
representatives, and commenting on this years CIP/budget process,
again, advocating for the DIA PLAN that was presented to Town Council
last spring – NOTHING ABOUT OUR MISSION AND GOALS HAS CHANGED.
Now we are asking for your DIRECT participation and support-
The
key to advancing the improvements outlined in the DIA PLAN is to get as
many supporters as possible to attend the public hearing on the evening
of March 24th and ask that the 5 million dollars that we
estimate it will cost to implement these improvements be included in
the Capital Improvement Budget for 2010 and 2011.
If
we are successful the design work can be completed in fiscal 2010 with
construction completed by late 2011 / 2012. By then, we should be out
of the recession and private re-development will follow. Currently most
of the funding is not scheduled until 2015 or later.
Our
position all along has been that we do not believe a piece-meal
approach over the next 10 years will have the desired impact.
Also, e-mailing all the members of Council with your valued opinion on this would be very helpful. (email address - council@leesburgva.gov)
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday the 24th at 7:30 PM to speak up for Downtown Leesburg!
Thank you-
Scott Gustavson
Co-Chairman
Downtown Improvement Association
