Fillmore, California, has appointed Downtown Strategies, a division of Retail Strategies, to develop a downtown strategic plan on behalf of the city. The Downtown Strategies team will host a Strategic Visioning Workshop in Fillmore on August 16, touring downtown and gathering input from community leaders, downtown business owners and stakeholders, and elected officials.
The five-year plan will be defined and developed considering policy and administration, design, tourism and promotion, economic vitality, and in-market research.
