criteria is 4 to 50,000) cities in the state There are two critical elements of the application which should be handled as follows 1) Public/Private Partnership The City should provide no more than half of the annual mainstreet budget (1/2 of $30 - $35,000), 2) Private Sector Committment and Organization The impetus for application must come from the downtown businesses and property owners (not the City), hence, the downtown must pull together a stronger and broader based organization and commit at least half the funds "While not essential, they prefer a community which has committed to funding the Manager's necessary budget for the three year period they are committing to (if we're selected) An option here is committment of funds for first year, with appropriate "plan" for committment of second and third years " Pasco has completed studies such as Central Business District, Economic Development Strategy spelled out in preparation of the City's Revolving Loan Fund, and the Historical Structure Survey in 1982 which points out the architectural history of downtown This should substantiate Pasco's long standing interest in the downtown area Mr Crutchfield concluded by stating that final decision should be made by October, and hopefully, Pasco will be among those selected Cunningham Hotel Demolition -
