Dollars and Sense: The Economics of Downtown Development Presentation

How do we build a vibrant downtown while creating a more fiscally sustainable and efficient city?

On July 22, 2015, planning consultant Joe Minicozzi of Ashville, NC answered that question when he made presentations at two meetings in Milwaukie. An edited version of his slideshow was presented to Milwaukie public officials in the morning and then again later that afternoon to a special Milwaukie meeting of Metro’s Metropolitan Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC). Mr. Minicozzi is a Principal with Urban3, which has conducted property value analysis, retail tax studies, and TOD analysis for communities across the country. He is a founding member of the North Carolina-based, non-profit Asheville Design Center and he holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Miami and Master of Architecture and Urban Design from Harvard University.
