Commission plans involvement for Main Street Landing soft opening and fall events
Summary
Staff briefed commissioners on fall-event brainstorming tied to the Main Street Landing soft opening; commissioners agreed the Riverfront Improvement Commission should be visible at the opening and suggested follow-up events and partnerships with local clubs and parks staff.
Staff updated the commission on plans for fall events and suggested the commission participate in the soft opening for Main Street Landing and host additional riverfront programming later in the season. "We could jump on with that," staff said, noting that the soft opening will likely include the ice-rink area and that the commission could add programming weeks later to sustain activity.
Commissioners recommended the commission be present at ribbon-cutting activities and consider events such as educational riverfront tours, partnership programming with the Davenport Sailing Club and a post-soft-opening concert or potluck. Commissioners also flagged the glass sculpture and potential levy discussions as items likely to attract public attention during the Main Street Landing rollout; staff agreed to coordinate with parks and administration and to return with more detailed event plans.
