"It's excellent timing for a promotion because we'Il have completed the first phase of the downtown revitalization. Ail the brick work on Brock St. will be finished, the trees will be planted and ahl the hanging planters and flower barrels will be out. It's going to look terrific. It's just a good time to make people more aware of what's actually hap- pening downtown," said BIA manager Georgina Phillips. It's ail part of the BIA's new aggressive profile in the community mandated this winter when the mem- bership voted unanimously in support of a close to 350 percent increase in the organization's budget - a budget raised entirely through levies on the mern- bers themnselves. And, ac- cording to Phillips, one of the BIA's main goals is to make the downtown more people oriented. "We want to make the downtown a place for people and the streetscape enhancement is Qnly -one part of that." Also on the BIA's agenda is architectural restoration, an aggressive marketing carnpaign to attract new, upscale businesses, an ongoing program of seminars and consultation to assist downtown mer- chants with everything from storefront im- provements to effective window dressing and, of course, a vigorous dose of self-promotion within the conimumty itself - promotions like Downtôwn Discovery Day. Downtown Discovery Day kicks off Saturday, June 21 at il a.m. when Mayor Bob Attersley and O'Sullivan will cut a ceremonial ribbon spanning the street at the four corners in front of the Family Trust Building. Following the opening, ceremonies, O'Sullivan wil be availabie to sign autographs and meet with the public until 1 p.m. Another highlight scheduled for the big day will be the Kid Check Program sponsored by the Durham Chapter of Child Find. For just $2, children between the ages of 3 through 15 will be photographed and finger- printed. The program has proved very popular with parents of young children and Phillips said they are hoping a lot of parents will corne downtown to take ad- vantage of this common- sense precaution.
