The Ypsilanti Blueprints Process Committee and the Ypsilanti Downtown Development Authority invite you to a Downtown Ypsilanti Community Vision Session on Tuesday, February 26th at 7:00 pm at First United Methodist Church (209 Washtenaw at N. Washington St) in Downtown Ypsilanti.

The Ypsilanti Downtown Development Authority (YDDA) and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), in consultation with downtown revitalization consultants HyettPalma, are hosting the event. Come out, speak up and share your vision of the future of Downtown with us and help us answer the following questions:

· If the citizens, the business community, and the government were to continue to work together over the next 5 years to make Downtown Ypsilanti the very best it could be, what would you like to see result from that effort?

· For you to consider those efforts a success, what kind of an experience would you be able to have in Downtown five years from now?

· What do you like most about Downtown at this time?

· What do you like least about Downtown at this time?

· What changes or improvements would you like to see made in Downtown over the next five years?

· Would there be any changes in the way Downtown looks?

· Who would the customers and users of your successful Downtown be in 5 years?

· What would you like Downtown’s image to be five years from now?

We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday evening at 7pm at First United Methodist Church!

Sincerely,

The Blueprint for Ypsilanti’s Downtown Committee
