Coordinator outlines Rev Group activities, workshop series and ripple‑effect mapping event
Summary
The Coordinator summarized a Rev Group convening, announced a workshop series beginning June 11 and a ripple‑effect mapping event on April 17 at 6 p.m., and reported meetings with Lennar and training on TIF and tax abatement.
The Coordinator reported on a recent Rev Group convening, highlighting peer communities’ work on childcare and economic development, and announced a workshop series starting June 11 (every other week, with a potential fifth marketing session). The Coordinator asked attendees to wait for registration details and requested that interested members email ahead to confirm attendance.
The Coordinator also said a ripple‑effect mapping event organized by the U of M Extension is scheduled for April 17 at 6:00 p.m. in the same meeting room; the exercise is intended to track the Rev program’s local impacts halfway through the city’s three‑year commitment.
In outreach updates, the Coordinator said staff met with representatives from Lennar about developable land in the area and that the city shared available parcels. The Coordinator also reported attending a training on financing and accounting (TIF and tax abatement) and meeting with the city accountant and other partners.
Why it matters: The workshop series and ripple‑effect mapping are part of an ongoing Rev economic development initiative intended to support small business planning, childcare resources, and local capacity building. The Coordinator said these activities will inform later policy and development priorities.
Next steps: Staff will publish registration details for the workshops when available and encouraged those who can to register and attend the April 17 event.
