Staff gave status updates on incentivized projects: Keller House Collective (207 S. Elm) discovered the building’s electrical service is sized for office/residential use rather than commercial and is working with the power provider (Encore) to upgrade service; that upgrade could delay occupancy by about six months. City Sports continues to work through civil plans. Staff said they are finalizing marketing for a relaunch of the Open Rewards program and will distribute materials to participating businesses and partners before Nov. 20.
On special events, staff reported Keller Restaurant Week (held July–August) had 22 participating restaurants and raised just under $2,000 for two charities (Humane Society and Community Storehouse), although only 13 restaurants returned donation data and staff said low business reporting limited post‑event assessment. Staff said they are reconsidering the format and staff time required for future restaurant week events. Staff also previewed the Shop Small scavenger hunt (Nov. 29–Dec. 5) in partnership with American Express and an upcoming brokers luncheon to highlight recruitment priorities and incentive programs.
