Potential "Painted Lady" Program
Ereuka, California has a wonderful downtown. On the water, and with great architecture. Like many older central cities, it needs more middle class residents to help revitalize the downtown.
The city could make an effort to promote redevelopment of under used properties by asking the architectural schools in California to design homes for your city that look like your nice historic homes, but are actually condo buildings. The city would make an effort to get builders and developers to build some of homes.
The marketing effort could be aimed at people in San Francisco and Seattle. They would have an opportunity to buy a new condo near the water in the historic downtown. And if they bring their high tech business and or job, so much the better.
If you would like to brainstorm this with us and turn it into a fleshed out program, we would be glad to do so. We are retired economic development professionals and planners. This is a no cost proposal from us - we would work with you for the fun of it.
Let us know if you are interested. Thanks for your consideration.
