Business Resources: Checklist & Welcome Packet

Last Updated 8/10/2023Posted in Business News


We have put together two documents that are designed to support downtown businesses and potential downtown businesses!

New (or Updating) Business Checklist

Are you planning to:

  •  Lease a space for your business? 
  • Buy a building for your business?
  • Renovate your building for the expansion of your business?
  • Change the use or activity in your building?
  • Take over an existing business?

This "New Business Checklist" will help you avoid costly delays and unexpected expenses.

New Business Welcome Packet

We have created this online Welcome Packet to introduce new business lessees to the Downtown District. This is a great article for all businesses to review! It includes links to helpful resources, information about the parking program, and more! 

Attention Property Owners:  Please save these articles and links to share with potential business lessees. You may always request these documents from the Downtown Manager! Thank you for helping to ensure a successful transition and opening for your tenants.
