Motion to amend carried 8-0 on roll call. Discussion considered the importance of a program like this, a lack of previous investment by current building owners, the oral interview process and the map included in the packet. Staff advised that this program is designed to encourage use of underutilized, vacant downtown buildings to support the area’s viability. This program would be beneficial to buildings that require significant investment. This program is modeled off of a program Director Dane implemented in the City of Waupaca.
