Do you support the Downtown Vibrancy Strategy released in June?
Context:
The Downtown Vibrancy Strategy is "a call for action" to support the recovery of Edmonton's downtown from the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2015, more than $4.4 billion has been invested in downtown development, but downtown has "faced unique challenges" due to the pandemic. While the strategy could require between $7 million and $28 million to fully implement, council approved an initial investment of $5 million.
