Notes

• Even with new strategy/direction on economic development, focus of platform is still neighborhood/place-based
  • What does success look like? What is different w/ emphasis on PBIDs?
  • City needs to define what neighborhood economic development means, input from residents and businesses
• How will other departments participate in platform? Focusing on economic development helps restrict the universe of departments involved in the early testing/implementation.
• Not all corridors have a PBID associated with them, so in those cases we would be relying on neighborhood associations.
  • Landlords are less interested than business owners in creating new PBIDs
• MVP needs "round trip" lifecycle, including City responses
  • MVP defined by City
• PBIDs and NAs need to be able to post priorities for the same neighborhood
