Downtown has made no progress since Suds Jain made great promises in 2020.  Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent, thousands of hours of staff time, too.

But there's been no visible progress.  The downtown advocates are not happy.  Residents are not happy.  The downtown businesses are disappointed.

Who's most responsible:
Suds Jain - Since being elected to the District representing Downtown, Jain has pushed for PAID parking in the Downtown area. Many believe he has done nothing to advance revitalization of Downtown

City Staff - City staff, most notably, City Manager Jovan Grogan are leading the study to consider relocating City Hall to the Agnews campus. Many believe City staff has delayed any action to revitalize Downtown.

Reclaiming Our Downtown - Many people think the grassroots organization has pushed developers, planners and others to revitalize Downtown only to their standards and for things they want such as a street trolley and a movie theatre venue
