This session, Mayor Cantelmo from the City of Ithaca, Allison Bodine from the Department of State, and the members of the consultant team charged with guiding the City of Ithaca through the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI), will present and answer questions about the program. They will discuss the collaborative process the City is undergoing to develop a community-driven vision and investment strategy focused on strengthening the downtown area as a vibrant place to live, work, visit, and do business.
