Overall Recommendations Enhance – Distinguish - Sustain Chapter 3: Recommendations Goal 1: Enhance Millken’s existing assets are the foundation on which growth and redevelopment can occur. Today, there are physical places in the downtown that evoke a sense of history, community and place, and there are people and resources already working to ensure Milliken’s economic, political and cultural success. In order to respect completed and on-going efforts, these first goals build on what exists in the Milliken community, ensuring past successes grow and continue. Action 1: Plan for Long-Term Investment in the Downtown Public Spaces In order to make the Design Guidelines successful, it will be important to set aside funding and resources to make investments in the physical places of downtown Milliken. Step 1.1 Create a Downtown Steering Committee (DSC). Building on the work of the Steering Committee members who participated in the Design Guidelines process, bring together a group comprised of Milliken Staff, property/business owners, elected/appointed officials and special interest representatives for the explicit purpose of upholding, reviewing and advocating for the Downtown Design Guidelines. This group should meet quarterly to track progress of the Design Guidelines implementation plan, make adjustments to goals and priorities as needed, and advocate for the Design Guidelines to Town Trustees and Planning Commission members. Responsibility: • Milliken Staff (to organize and facilitate the meetings, solicit the Steering Committee members, and distribute meeting notes and action items from quarterly meetings, and report to the Town Trustees and Planning Commission members) • Milliken Stakeholders/Advocates (to serve on the Steering Committee) Resources Needed: • Staff Time (estimated 24-32 hours a quarter) • Meeting Space • Meeting Notes from Quarterly Meetings (including action items and responsible persons for each action item – should be completed by Secretary of the Steering Committee) Step 1.2 Review the existing Capital Improvement Plan to determine which downtown projects have existing funding sources, and what additional funding sources are needed to achieve aggressive implementation of downtown improvements. Begin with the financing recommendations set forth in the Design Guidelines, but commit to a higher level of funding for a limited time period (3 to 5 years). 4
Overall Recommendations Enhance – Distinguish - Sustain Responsibility: • Milliken Staff in conjunction with the Downtown Steering Committee • Town Trustees and Planning Commission Members Resources Needed: • Staff/Steering Committee Time (to meet quarterly to review the Design Guidelines implementation plan and to create annual recommendations to Town Trustees and Planning Commission members) • Meeting Space • Annual Recommendations Plan (created by the Downtown Steering Committee, annual plan created by Staff) Action 2: Promote and Support the Downtown Façade Enhancement Program Begun and approved during the Design Guidelines planning process, the downtown façade enhancement program provides an important resource for property owners to beautify and improve their buildings. The appearance of the properties within downtown Milliken has a tremendous impact on its overall look, feel and sense of place, and partnering with property owners helps support the overall redevelopment of downtown. Step 2.1 Continue to set aside matching funds for the Façade Enhancement Program. In order to give the program time to succeed, ensure a 3-year initial funding lifespan. Responsibility: • Milliken Staff • Town Trustees and Planning Commission Members Step 2.2 Dedicate Staff time to support the Façade Enhancement Program. The dedicated staff member will promote the program among the downtown property owners, and be a resource for those interested in the program (to help explain the process and provide assistance as needed). The Staff member will have the following responsibilities: • Create a brochure advertising the program (electronic and paper) and distribute the paper brochure to downtown property owners and businesses. Discuss the process of the program, and indicate the availability of help/support, as needed. • Create a written description of the program to be displayed on the Town of Milliken website. • Be responsible for ‘before and after’ photography of the participating properties. • Collect qualitative and quantitative data tracking the impacts of façade improvements on the success of the property. • Act as a resource for interested property owners as they inquire about/participate in the program. • Create a yearly report regarding the success of the program, and present the report annually to Town Trustees and Planning Commission members.
