• Organization • Promotion • Design • Economic Restructuring The enhancement of Ivanhoe Village is an Economic Development effort, not simply a physical improvement project. The Economic Restructuring Committee works to develop a market strategy for the district that will result in an improved retail mix, a stronger tax base, increased investor confidence and a strong, stable role for the Village as a major component of the Village’s economic health. The Promotion Committee's primary responsibility is to market a unified, quality image of the Village’s business district as the center of activities, goods and services to retailers, residents, shoppers, investors and tourists. The responsibilities of this committee are broad and typically include coordinating advertising, special events, and media relations. Ivanhoe Village’s Promotion Committee is diligently working to produce the annual “Jingle Eve” Christmas event as well as the monthly “First Fridays Art Stroll.” These events bring people here to experience and enjoy what Ivanhoe Village has to offer. Enhancement of the Village’s appearance is an objective of the program. Main Street’s Design Committee is dedicated to creating an attractive, coordinated and quality image of the Village by capitalizing on its unique assets and heritage. The Design Committee is working on adding public art, bike racks, trees, and more parking to the streetscape as well as designing the look and “brand” of the Village and Main Street’s published materials. The Organization Committee works to not only ensure the well being of the organization that is Ivanhoe Village Main Street, such as membership, fundraising, volunteers, etc., but also creating a communication and information network between all the stakeholders in the Village. Our Board of Directors is comprised of residents, business owners, and property owners from in and around the Village, as well as representatives from organizations with a stake in Ivanhoe Village. www.Ivanhoevillage.org |
