DowntownStillwaterRevitalization
RevitalizationOpportunities andDowntown s UnprecedentedFuture
TheDowntownRevitalizationCommttee DRC wasestablished in September 2012 as a means for downtownbusinesses and property owners to join together to identifyopportunities to revitalize or redevelop downtown inconjunction with the major capital improvements takingplace in the next four years creation ofBrown s CreekTrail Lowell Park Phase II completion Lift Bridgerenovation and eventual redevelopment of the Shoddy MillIn total these improvementswill forever alter downtown as we know it today Howevereach of these improvements will not reach their full potential if they are not meshedtogether into one cohesive plan that clearly identifies all the possible opportunitiesbeyondjust the improvements themselves
The DRC has spent the last 10 months identifying a wide range of additionalopportunities that further enhance the aforementioned improvements as well as creating adynamic commercial district that evokes the unique history of downtown as never beforeWhen added to themajor improvements theDRC s opportunities act likemortarcementing the continuity of the major improvements into a seamless flow of cyclistspedestrians shoppers diners and residents all enjoying the new vibeof a rejuvenateddowntown that offers goods and services in demand 12 months of the year And theopportunities the DRChasbrought forth couldn t come at a better time
As stated previously downtown Stillwater is decaying botheconomically and physically The great recession and everincreasing property taxes have eroded the financial capabilitiesof property owners to maintain their properties let alone theability to reinvest in the properties to bring them into refurbishedcondition This failing economic structure forces owners to leasetheir spaces tounder qualified tenants whooften don t have the capital to withstandStillwater s seasonal highs and lows Thisall to p resen t situation produces a revolvingdoor reputation that downtown and the Cty cannot affordIwant to cancel my membership this year because my business is notdoing well Ialmost closed this winter and now th is month is slow too I have no money to pay formembership I hope you understand I can barely pay rent this month I m so sorry forthis DowntownChamberMember June 12th email
To ensure downtown doesn t just survive as ithas in recent years but thrive downtownbusinesses property owners City officials and MnDOT must take unprecedentedcollaborative ac tion to leverage each opportunity to its fullest extent To do anything lessdramatically marginalizes the investment and benefit potential providedby these majorimprovements

With thebulk of downtown opportunitiesidentified the next step is action The timehas arrivedwhere we nowmustwork togetherto start implementing the opportunities in asystematic process to bring about the bestdowntown from vision to realityThework theDRChas done todate is nowready for implementation Belowsummarizes all the current DRCopportunitiesand the specific actions needed to continuethe revitalization ofdowntown
Economc Development Action Plan
TheDRC has receivedproposals fromtwo local economc developmentconsultantswithyet another highly recommended consultant Buxton who has preformed economicdevelopment redevelopment and marketing plans for more than 65 0 municipalitiesProposals received range from 35 000 to 65 000
The full assessment of downtown s currentofferings market trade area consumerprofileand resulting proposedbusiness mix action plan is the most influential se t of economicreports critical for all of us to make sound decisions fordowntown long into the futureThe resulting action plan comes at the pivotal time indowntown history when all these opportunities convergeto makedowntown an economc powerhouseor ifnotundertaken continues to have downtown remaining aneconomic revolving door withwell intended businessescoming and going on a regular basis The latter is notbeneficial to downtown or the economics that the cityrelies on The investment and stakes are toohigh toallowpast methods tocontinue their lack luster results
There is littledoubt that strategically planning downtown guidedby these economicaction plans bringseconomc benefits notjust for downtown but for all ofStillwater Asdowntown is redeveloped into a 12 month commercial district the Cty will enjoy arebirthof economic activity throughout the city which can only enhance the quality oflife viability and economic restructuring of other commercial districts and provide apositive impact on commercial and residential values aswell It is for this reason andrationale that the DRC requests the economic plans be supported by the City

It is important that we plan early for a new method of handling snow removal fromdowntown sidewalks In an effort to devise a cost estimate andpossiblecost distributioncalculation itwould bewise to get quotes for snow removal this summer so definedcontribution zones c an be developed with corresponding cost structure drafted for furtherrevew Getting cos t quotes now allows the Cty and downtown property owners to crafta workable arrangement well before thewinter season begins
Building Facade and Tree Up LightingThere are approximately seven building owners who arevery interested in up lighting the building facades ortrees within their property lines The work and costnecessary are the responsibility of the building ownerswith no funding requested from the Cty All the DRCand property owners ask is the ability to proceed withtheirplannedambiance improvements
