Main Street Resource Team Report Lists Recommendations for Ellensburg Downtown Association

As one of the first benefits as a newly designated Main Street program, the Ellensburg Downtown Association hosted a Main Street Resource Team June 5-7.  The team's visit included meetings with the Ellensburg Downtown Association board members and staff, City officials, and several small group interviews with various stakeholder groups during the 3 day process.

The Ellensburg Downtown Association also hosted a brief reception for community members to meet with members of the resource team at the beginning of the process and a public presentation by the resource team on Thursday June 7th where the team shared their initial observations and recommendations for the Ellensburg Downtown Association

The team released their final report earlier this week.  The 36 page report includes a general overview of the current state of downtown and the association, and an assessment of strengths and opportunities in each of the four Main Street points of economic restructuring, design, promotion, and organization .

Ellensburg Downtown Association Director, Timothy Bishop is optimistic about the team’s report.  “The resource team’s report will be a valuable tool for the EDA as we begin looking at next year’s work plan and prioritizing our efforts.”  “The report seems to validate that we are heading in the right direction with our revitalization but it’s also clear that we have a great deal of work still ahead of us”
