With Sleeves Rolled Up, A Working Group Begins!

Following the March 28, 2007 executive summary presentation by Kennedy Smith of the Clue Group before three groups of interested and concerned Carlsbad residents, an interim working group was created to move into the next phase of "transformation visioning" for The Village. Some 15 local residents, each, of whom, bring different and very diverse points of view as members of this interim working group. They will collaborate with Kennedy Smith to achieve an atmosphere of collective action that will eventually lead to the creation of what might be called, a Carlsbad main street organization. These individuals represent local community-based organizations, retailers, property owners, housing & redevelopment, arts and culture, developers, residents and financial institutions.

Members of this interim working group include John Simons, Debbie Fountain, Don Schempp, Mario Monroy, Peter Gordon, Kurt Burkhart, Sandra Holder, Sarah Marquez, Courtney Enriquez, Jodi Dickson, John Prieto, Lance Schulte, Leo Pacheco, Andrea Korogi, Robert Richardson and Robin Young.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 17th. We'll keep you updated, and we hope that you will come to this blog frequently and share your comments along the way!

Stay tuned, and thank you!
