SUMMARY:2016 "Re-Imagining the Downtown Economy"
DESCRIPTION:This engaging panel discussion is part of the ongoing Business Leadership & Policy Series\, a joint venture of the Amherst BID and the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce.\n\n\n\nThere's no shortage of issues confronting businesses in the heart of Amherst (e.g. parking\, street people\, online competition\, and the natural-gas moratorium). And there is no shortage of ideas about how we can rise to the challenge. Turning those ideas into clear policy proposals is the goal of the Business Leadership & Policy series in general and this first event in particular. The overarching question we aim to answer is this: What practical steps should policy-makers take to ensure that in the years ahead Amherst enjoys a vibrant and prosperous downtown that generates jobs and tax revenue?\n\n\n\nCome experience a spirited discussion with panelists Tony Maroulis - UMass External Relations\, Geoff Kravitz- Economic Development Director\, Town of Amherst\, Sharon Povinelli - Hastings Stationers\, and Jonathan Welch - Osteria Vespa. Moderated by Peter Vickery\, Esq.\n\n\n\nNOTE: I acknowledge and agree that the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce and the Amherst BID (the Organizers) will record this event\, which recording may include my likeness and voice\; that the recording shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Organizers\; and that the Organizers shall have the exclusive\, perpetual\, and irrevocable right to use the recording (including online usage) in whole or in part\, including my likeness and voice. I hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims against the Organizers\, including their employees\, agents\, officers\, and directors (and release the foregoing from any and all claims) arising out of their use of the recording\, including but not limited to claims for invasion of privacy and violation of the right of publicity.
