Rob Dale, Rhapsody Strategies, provided an introduction to the Main Street District Business Improvement Area Board of Management Strategic Priority Development Workshop and asked the Board Members to provide a brief introduction of themselves. The Members participated in a workshop that helped to identify the positive about Main Street including some of the various events and recreational activities available to residents, and identified several wins experienced over the last year regarding parking, garbage, and the vibrancy on the street. 

Rob Dale further explained that many Business Improvement Areas (BIA) express confusion regarding their purpose or mandate, and he assisted in the identification of values and areas of interest for the Main Street BIA specifically. The Board Members discussed potential changes to the election process and the levy to align with these values.
