DAVENPORT, IOWA (June 24, 2020) — The Downtown Davenport Partnership (DDP) will host its annual meeting virtually with downtown stakeholders to provide a review on the last year and give an update on what is to come.
During the 2019 meeting, DDP's focus was on providing support to help the downtown community recover from the historic flooding. In 2020, the world is facing a bigger crisis. Significant work will need to be done to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 and protect private and public investments downtown.
While recovery efforts will again drive much of the conversation, there are still millions being invested and significant plans moving forward behind the scenes, big and small. A wide range of topics will be discussed from economic development and marketing to festivals, complete streets, master planning, and clean and safe initiatives.
Despite the challenges, DDP will take a moment to celebrate its progress and resiliency with an eye toward the future. This annual meeting, DDP will share response efforts and strategies for stabilizing, recovering, and growing downtown once again.
ABOUT DDP:
