Let’s fill up the abandoned buildings with restaurant chains, stores, and attractions! Don’t waste Douglas‘s potential!

The current improvements to 8th street park and Airport park are a great start! To accompany these changes I think bringing in more greenery or water—small ponds or fountains. Following that, attractions such as live music events and community events.

Would the City consider that any property up-zone request in the Historic District pass the approval of adjacent property owners? Or, there be requirements for noise, traffic, odor, and view shielding. Some historic, small, and humble houses are loosing value and occupants because of used car sales and auto service businesses moving in next door.

Could the previous Food City building be converted into a youth center and the parking lot and adjacent businesses be incorporated into a mini village of small grocer (not fast food), children's play area, senior outdoor green space, or other entertainment?

Is the city of Douglas aware of this, and considering taking advantage of it?
**************July 10, 2023, AZ Central State Grant money is now available for municipalities and organizations with proposals about drought, water conservation, and infrastructure repair and upgrades.
Funding for water conservation projects in Arizona is starting to flow. Where it goes is the subject of ongoing talks.
With a total of $200 million to award, the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority approved eight water conservation projects, totaling about $15 million, in late June. Another 53 proposals from the first round of applications and about 40 from the second round await review.
The Water Conservation Grant Fund was negotiated last year as part of former Gov. Doug Ducey's $1 billion water package. The goal was to produce tangible, long-term water conservation results, either by reducing water use, improving efficiency or preventing shortages from infrastructure failures.

Hello! I wanted to submit a recommendation for the park department to improve and add functional space to the 8th street Memeorial Park. The 4 tennis courts that have no nets, windbreaker, or painted courts need work. They are currently being used for everything but tennis. Tennis has been more popular in the community over the last few years and the courts often are full with many people on it or waiting for hours. Perhaps an initiative to resurface, add net and windscreen to the center 2 of the 4 that need work while a demolishing of eastern most court and adding a low maintenance/cost desert walkway with a bench or something would not only add more courts that can be used for growing demand but also add more walkable space to the existing parameters of the park. A win for the city, community on a relatively non fictional space

I would like to use the aquatic center more. The outdoor pool, splash pad, and therapy pool are rarely ready to use. Also, the bathrooms need a very thorough cleaning because they are gross.
I would also be very interested in water aerobic classes that are offered at a time that works for working people (4:30pm class) and retired or non-working people (morning class). The aquatic center has so much potential!
