The One Page Poster Plan can be a simple yet effective way to present a plan. </span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The KISS formula - Keep It Sweet and Simple - method is used. The plan includes a large colorful and simple map with photographs, and a list of goals or projects that will be followed. The plan can be printed as a large poster, and as an 8.5 by 11 inch handout, or placed on a blog as shown here. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, "Helvetica", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Variations of this theme include an 11 by 17 inch brochure. </span></span><br />

The first meeting will be with the Peoria Civic Center on January 24, 2008<br />
<br />
Background: The Peoria Civic Center has completed a major expansion. The Center now contains over 110,000 square feet of exhibit space, 27,000 square feet of meeting space, and 18,000 square feet of </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">pre</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">-function space.<br />
<br />
In 2002, the Civic Center Authority hired Johnson Consulting to analyze the Center’s master plan. In the consultant’s experience and opinion, hotels physically attached to Convention Centers in northern climates are much more successful than hotels that are not attached. According to the study, downtown Peoria needs more hotel rooms, a view shared by the Peoria Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Peoria Civic Center Authority indicates that a number of potential conventions have not selected Peoria because of the lack of an adequate number of rooms.<br />
<br />
Improved downtown hotels are desirable to support the Civic Center, and to match the quality of hotels provided by our competitors. Improved civic, entertainment, restaurant, and retail services are needed.<br />
<br />
In 2006 the Civic Center and the City retained </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">HVS</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">, a quality hospitality industry consultant. The study documented the need for more and better hotels to support the Civic Center. It also documented the fact that the downtown hotels continue to struggle, with relatively low occupancy. In 2007 a study by a Six Sigma Black Belt further examined the need for more hotel rooms to increase economic activity in the City Center.<br />
<br />
Downtown Peoria faces competition from other conference and convention centers in the </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">region</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">. The addition of the Lincoln Museum has greatly enhanced Springfield’s attractiveness for conferences. Normal is completing a major new conference center and hotel with substantial governmental assistance. The Embassy Suites has opened in East Peoria, and received substantial </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">TIF</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> assistance. </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Tinley</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> Park built their center with substantial governmental assistance, and are preparing a major expansion. Four new hotels are underway or planned near Grand Prairie without any assistance. These hotels are a welcome economic addition to the City, but will also further challenge downtown business.<br />
<br />
The City of Peoria continues to search for ways to assist our downtown business compete with these new challenges. Possible ways to assist downtown business include the formation of a Hospitality Improvement Zone (</span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">HIZ</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">), with these possible programs<br />
<br />
Enterprise Zone (sales tax on materials & 5 year property tax abatement, already in place)<br />
<br />
Historic Tax Credits for buildings older than 1936. (The year is a federal requirement)<br />
<br />
Creation of a Tax Increment Financing (up to 23 year property tax incentive)<br />
<br />
Business District Development and Redevelopment District (new sales or hotel tax)<br />
<br />

City or Civic Center supported capital expenditures<br />

<br />

<br />
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS: Not known, but will be investigated as part of the meetings..<br />

<br />
Impact if Denied: No staff action will be taken.<br />
<br />
Alternatives: None.<br />
<br />
EEO Certification Number: N/A.<br />
<br />

<br />
