Battle For Our City!
Utica, NY | June 25-27, 2017
#NoHospitalDowntown and Better Utica Downtown - BUD and others have called upon professional outsider "Urban Savers" to visit Utica. Please join us our Facebook event page Battle For Our City!, and see detailed events listing below.
Our main guests will look at Downtown Utica - and the proposed hospital concept - they'll walk the Historic Columbia Lafayette Neighborhood, talk with property and business owners, discuss things with residents, leaders and the media.
What will Urban3 and Strong Towns see and hear? What have they learned about other cities, other downtown neighborhoods? What makes some places work, not work, some grow and why do others to remain stuck and or become blighted? What attracts urban residents and what events create downtown revivals?
Does Downtown Utica settle for a costly inner-city hospital that would eat-up a huge part of downtown, or will Downtown Utica Take-part In The Great Urban Revival? So many questions! Please mark your calendar, plan to be in Downtown Utica...
