Board of Trustees - January 27, 1987 - Page three Neil Rosener/Forward Estes Park Foundation appeared before the Trustees stating the Foundation is a group of concerned Estes Park business people. The Foundation's purpose is to increase the viability of the Estes Park downtown and Estes Park area business community. The Foundation seeks to be a conduit between government and private enterprise. Mr. Rosener discussed the progress of the Redevelopment Program and its effect on the business community and expressed concern that certain individuals desire to alter or disban EPURA. The time has come, however, to re-examine "where we are" and "how successful we've been." The Foundation is willing to obtain updated statistical information, comparing items such as sales tax, etc. to other communities as they did prior to the Redevelopment Program. If an analysis is obtained, then the Town would have the ability to make changes, if necessary; a viable, responsive, lively business community is vital to the Town and every citizen residing in Estes Park. Sound, long-range plans are the only possible way this can be accomplished. Mr. Rosener stated the Foundation does support the Chamber of Commerce; their desire is to help build the business community of Estes Park. Mayor Dannels expressed his appre- ciation to Mr. Rosener for the aforementioned comments and support. Mayor Dannels submitted the name of Milan A.
