Facing funding concerns and stalled progress, the DDA plans to shrink its focus to Colorado Avenue and launch a renewed campaign to win voter approval for a mill levy—this time with a longer, more persuasive push.

The DDA board president remains hopeful, betting that a well-funded, community-focused campaign can secure the support needed to hire key staff and tackle big projects—without needing costly alternatives. With $20K to cover ballot costs, they’re going straight to the people before the council makes its final call. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
