  3. Purpose of Seminar • The purpose of this seminar is to bring together all participants in the community (Government, Owners, Banking and Business Organization) to discuss ideas and goals towards developing an inviting and thriving business sector in which the businesses would complement one another. • We will also discuss programs and partnerships which shall promote this growth.

  4. Observations • We have all seen the steady lost of some of our long standing and family owned businesses as well as some of the staple franchise establishments which acted as the magnet to the shopping districts. • We have seen the decline of the foot traffic and retail shops along these routes but, • We have also seen the growth and desires of some of our new retailers to come and be a part of our community.

  5. Observations (cont.) • Economic development can only be promoted through a combination of interrelated and dependent elements. The elements include investment—public and private; security--public and private; road/infrastructure improvements; and enhancement of the experience—code enforcement. • The Village Board will pursue all elements. However private efforts are mandatory. It is critical to the success of business operators to make a positive statement about themselves and the Village of Maywood

  6. Community Development • Economic development • Use TIF funds to obtain troubled sites and to assemble small parcels into ones large enough to be marketed. • Market sites • Negotiate over bigger sites; ComEd and “10 acre” site • Long term: identify strengths and opportunities (weaknesses) then allocate resources to address both

  9.
