How Our Neighbors to the North are
Turning Ideas Into Reality...
A thought -provoking presentation by guest speaker Doug Neumann,
President and CEO of the Cedar Rapids Downtown District. Recognizing
Cedar Rapids is as different from Iowa City as apples are from oranges, Doug
will
• share insight about the importance of developing a long term vision for
the downtown,
• give examples of how leadership from the private sector dovetails with
resources from the public sector and creates great return on investment
for all, and
• tell the unique story of how downtown CR got to the point of
implementing a downtown business development plan and hiring a
manager.
