Mayor Fisher and Members of the council.
It is with unanimous agreement that we forward to you our budget request for July 1,, 20 -
June 30, 20 2,
As you are aware the Board of Directors must consist of property owners within the District. This
board is a diverse seven member group working on strengthening the economy of Historic
Downtown Kalispell. We believe that one of our greatest assets in downtown Kalispell is our
historic buildings. This past summer we initiated an effort to produce a new walking tour book of
the downtown district which included the newly registered properties. The books are distributed
through downtown businesses, area hotels and the Chamber of Commerce.
During this past year we also:
• Hired our first coordinator
• Thursday) Fest completed its 2nd successful year of festivals on 3rd Street in downtown
• A Pun Through History - was established--- First annual 5K run and festival this past
September with approximately 200 runners!
• Coordination of advertising and promotion of Canadian Days
• The Glacier Pod run dance on 3,d Street East in July
• Work done with the Montana Department of Transportation for appropriate signage on
the alternate Hwy 93 truck route
• Airing of a part time employee to keep downtown clean
• Utilization of volunteers to plant flowers downtown and to assist with graffiti removal
• Establishing membership in the )Montana Main Street Program which makes available
free technical assistance to our downtown businesses.
We have been working closely with the City of Kalispell, the Kalispell Downtown Association,
and the newly formed Tourism Business Improvement District, the Kalispell Convention and
Visitors Bureau, Montana West Economic Development and most importantly our downtown
businesses.
2011 - 2012 Work Plan:

Our aim is to coordinate efforts that will promote and strengthen the heart of the Flathead
Malley.. , Downtown Kolispell. We will continue to help our businesses find solutions to the
challenges they face and to look for opportunities to improve our economic growth and
prosperity .... and to help others realize what we already know... Kalispell is truly the most
outstanding place to live and do business in Montana.
