Downtown Business Owner’s Meeting
Thursday, May 9, 2019
Save the date for the Downtown Business Owners’ meeting at the Royal Oak Music Theatre. On the agenda is a discussion about free parking in the garages in June. The DDA has approved a budget figure to provide up to eight days of free parking in the garages in June to celebrate the grand opening of the new 565-spot parking deck. The DDA wants to know whether business owners prefer the eight days be consecutive through one week (plus one day), or whether we should split up the days throughout the month (every Friday and Saturday in June is another option). There will be time for discussion and then a brief vote by those in attendance. Please RSVP.
