The City of Red Deer is seeking applications for a new Downtown Governance Committee.
This committee will be responsible for exploring options and proposing strategies to address the evolving needs of Red Deer’s Downtown.
The committee will play a role in shaping the future of the downtown that aims to ensure better coordination, adaptable leadership and sustainable funding models that address the needs of businesses, residents and the broader community.
The City is seeking:
- One historic downtown business owner
- One Capstone business owner
- One Railyards business owner
- One greater downtown resident
- One employee of the greater downtown
- Three community members at large
- One member of the Downtown Business Association board
- One member of the Chamber of Commerce board
- One member of the Red Deer Tourism Board
Since 1983, the Business Improvement Area (BIA) has been a cornerstone of Red Deer’s downtown community, bringing businesses together to promote economic growth, enhance the business environment and boost downtown vibrancy. Funded through an annual levy collected from businesses within the BIA boundaries, these resources are managed by the Downtown Business Association (DBA) to fulfil its mandate.
The City of Red Deer and the DBA are co-leading an initiative to adapt service delivery strategies for the downtown area to address evolving needs, such as social challenges, economic development and community expectations. This includes considering a broadened greater downtown perspective which includes Capstone, Railyards, Historic Downtown and Parkvale.
To apply, visit RedDeer.ca/DGC complete the application and submit before January 29, 2025.
