The job of the Economic Restructuring Committee is to identify new market opportunities for a traditional downtown district, find new uses for historic commercial buildings, and stimulate investment in property. The Economic Restructuring Committee must develop a thorough understanding of the district’s economic condition and its best opportunities, focusing on incremental changes that gradually improve the area’s economic foundation and eventually make large-scale investment possible.
