Thank you for your continued attendance and support of
the JumpStart Elyria Transportation & Business District Re-development Planning
Process for the Downtown, Midway and Cleveland Street. We are
approaching the final phase and encourage you to join us for one of two
sessions to be held in Elyria City Hall Council Chambers (second floor) – 131
Court Street from 8:30am – 10:00am or 6:30pm – 8:00pm on Wednesday April 1st.
The purpose of this meeting is to (1) present the summary
of findings from the Market Analysis, (2) learn about the recommended economic
development and implementation strategies, and (3) discuss the priorities for
infrastructure and connectivity relative to the proposed recommendations. While your reservation to attend is not
required, it would be very helpful if you would let us know if you are coming
so we can plan for set-up and refreshments.
To make your reservation, please
call Carrie in the Mayor’s Office at 326-1402 by Monday, March 30th.

So far, JumpStart Elyria has had over 180 stakeholder
participants! Even if you have only
attended one session or participated in a phone interview, I would encourage
you to attend one of these two final sessions, as they will be the most
important moving forward. Videos of
previous meetings are available for viewing here.
Thank you again for your continued consideration and
participation in this process. Our
ability to create a realistic, data-driven, market-tested redevelopment
strategy that takes into consideration our own strengths and challenges and neighboring
markets are important to our success.
It’s something that Elyria has never done before and we are so very
pleased you have chosen to help us set a new, more informed course for our
community. I look forward to seeing you
on April 1st.
Sincerely,
Holly C. BrindaMayor
