- Previous meetings of these bodies in late 2025 indicate sustained attention to downtown-related matters, though specific agenda items tied directly to revitalization were not documented.
- No new agenda items or public news have been recorded in the last 30 days specifically mentioning downtown revitalization.
3) What to watch next:
- Upcoming meetings of the Downtown Parking Board and Board Policy and Monitoring Committee may provide further details or updates on downtown revitalization plans.
