If I was the Mayor, I would...Okay here is my idea!<br /><br />If I was the Mayor, I would make the city of Commerce City the most "business friendliest" city in the entire metro region. <br /><br />Not just hot air, some really changes. When a business comes in with interest, I would assign a “case manager” to them. This “case manager” would be a city staffer that would literally be on call when the potential new business has a issue, any issue. I would guarantee a 24 hour turn around on any and all questions and concerns. Or at least some type of communication. I would require that at least 1 at-large official and the Ward official where the business would be located have a meeting within 3 days of the business coming forth with interest.<br /><br />These are just some of the things I would put into place. I maybe a little biased here, the fact is I am a part owner in a business. But the question was what I would do if I were the mayor, now you all know.<br /><br />Harold, HK Commerce City, ColoradoHHKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787227658370252666.post-62987264332300844312009-04-24T08:53:00.000-06:002009-04-24T08:53:00.000-06:00Get a full time Grant Writer just the for Derby Ar...Get a full time Grant Writer just the for Derby Area.ccSpeaksnoreply@blogger.com
