Education and City Issues Monitoring

Mission: Develop and maintain a means to inform CNI-EC and other members, as appropriate, about City meetings (e.g. Plan Commission, Landmarks Commission, Downtown Coordinating Committee, Urban Design Commission, etc.) that impact the livability of the CNI districts. Develop and maintain a system for educating CNI-EC members about current architecture, development, preservation and other urban living issues in the press (primarily but not exclusively local) in order to provide them with knowledge that will assist them in responding to issues that arise within our downtown and will better prepare them to contribute effectively to solving problems.
