Tuesday, April 16, 2019
Definition of Conundrum: A confusing and difficult problem or question. The Downtown Spokane Partnership (DSP) is excited to announce the first of the 2019 series of Downtown Dialogues, Downtown Parking Conundrums.
Downtown Dialogues are a resource for the business community to come together and learn about important topics related to downtown. “The objective of the dialogues are to help members and ratepayers gain a better understanding of the initiatives taking place around us,” says DSP President Mark Richard. In addition the series will identify opportunities to improve downtown and bring people together to engage in those opportunities.
Interested guests are invited to join the DSP on April 16, 2019, 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at The Montvale Event Center, 1017 West 1st Ave. This free event provides great conversation, snacks, and no-host bar.
The panel discussion, moderated by Paul Read, Publisher of the Journal of Business, will highlight parking challenges and possible solutions in downtown. Participants will be provided an overview of key findings from the most recent City of Spokane parking study, including short and long term suggestions, discover opportunities for public and private partnerships, and learn about resources for residents, business and property owners.
