Right Now Downtown

THE “GREAT AND POWERFUL” SID

Remember that scene in The Wizard of Oz when Toto pulls the cord and the secret of the Great and Powerful Oz is revealed?  This week we’re pulling back the curtain on Right Now Downtown.  Yes, there are some someones behind the curtain of this publication: the Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District.

Capital Crossroads, which is voluntarily funded by property owners within the downtown district, performs a wide array of services all intended to improve the quality of life downtown.  Right Now Downtown is just one small part of what we do.

In November Capital Crossroads held its Annual Meeting, during which we reported on the state of the SID, made some big announcements, and presented some awards.  If you didn’t make it to the Annual Meeting, never fear.  We have our blog.

We’ve posted a ten-minute video summarizing the Annual Meeting and our accomplishments from 2009, featuring Cleve Ricksecker, Kacey Campbell and Lisa Defendiefer.

During the Annual Meeting we also recognize people and companies for outstanding service, for aesthetic contribution to downtown, for outstanding achievement, and our outstanding ambassador of the year.  To read about our award winners, visit our blog post.
