The Rochester Downtown Partnership has had productive strategic planning sessions to discuss an intentional plan for moving Rochester forward in 2018. Steven Ray, with the North Central Indiana Regional Planning Council, facilitated the meetings and conducted individual planning sessions with each RDP committee to ensure we are moving into 2018 with a clear, common vision.
Our 2018 goals include:
--Develop a communication network utilizing local media outlets to inform the community and local government of projects we are working on.
--Build a volunteer base to engage community members and business owners in the cultural development of downtown Rochester through events and planning.
--Build capacity to enhance and sustain downtown business by engaging a broader audience of citizens and business owners through internship programs, expanding committees, and promoting businesses through quarterly roundtable discussions and monthly business visits.
--Increase tourism traffic and local involvement in downtown Rochester by expanding and further developing existing events throughout the year, as well as adding additional smaller events to utilize current and developing park areas.
--Promote downtown Rochester as a destination by promoting the preservation of the downtown's unique historical character through the facade grant program, complete with educational opportunities for business and building owners.
--Serve as a resource for downtown businesses and property owners: develop a resource guide for businesses and interested investors; conduct surveys of at-risk business needs; create a database of unoccupied downtown property for interested parties; develop a recruitment plan based on market analysis.
