Imagine a place in our downtown designed to address housing and other needs of our early career “idea people” ... scientists, technologists, artists and innovators of all type ... and entrepreneurs.

What would it look like? Where might be a good location? What related amenities would benefit both the residents and the larger community?

The Los Alamos Creative District Steering Committee facilitated by Los Alamos MainStreet has been putting thought and effort into these and other questions. An early outcome from this work will be a visit to Los Alamos in early March by representatives of PLACE, a non-profit niche developer based in Minneapolis. PLACE (www.welcometoplace.com) is one of the developers targeted in the Los

Alamos Creative District plan completed by the Steering Committee last year (you can read the plan at www.creativenm.org).

Following completion of the plan last year, MainStreet started contacting developers who specialize in the niche of affordable housing development that connects with the cultural assets of a community. Based on those contacts, PLACE expressed an interest in visiting Los Alamos to assess the feasability of a project here. “The Creative District vision that the steering committee put together is impressive,” says PLACE CEO, Chris Velasco.

“It is intriguing to us because not only is it about the arts, but also brings together the idea of including science, technology, and history in presenting the story of a very

A Place for Idea People (continued from page 1)unique place in the world. We are really excited about our team’s visit to Los Alamos in early March,” said Velasco.

During their visit, the PLACE team will be conducting focus groups, touring the downtown to familiarize with potential sites, and hold an open community forum for all interested people to learn about PLACE and contribute their ideas, questions, and concerns. The Community Forum will take place on Thursday, March 8th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Fuller Lodge. The PLACE approach to development is quite different from most developers and emphasizes early community involvement, sustainability, and social justice.

To learn more about how PLACE approaches development, I traveled to Ventura, CA recently together with LACDC Board President David Horpedahl to visit one of PLACE’s most recent projects, Working Artists Ventura (WAV). WAV (pictured above) opened in 2009, a 4-story, 130,000 square foot project on 1.7 acres in the downtown of Ventura. It is mixed use in that about 6,000 s.f. is built for storefront use. There are 82 housing units, many of them designed for work-live use. There is also an indoor/outdoor theater/ampitheater/exhibition space created for community use. The housing was geared to affordability needs in the Ventura market with 20% aimed at market rate, 60% priced to serve middle income, and 20% lower income ranges. WAV is only the second LEED certified affordable housing project in California. Seventeen sources of project financing were stitched

together to turn WAV into a reality. The housing is 100% occupied although the storefront space has yet to lease up in a local market with quite a few storefront vacancies. Walking the Ventura business community and talking to locals about WAV elicited positive reviews for the project and development approach.

Jim Luttjohann was head of the Arts Council in Ventura during the time the project was being conceived. He is now the Executive Director of the Visitors and Convention Bureau. “The developer [PLACE] did a great job of reaching out across a whole range of constituencies in our community. Early career and lesser known artists were leaving or not coming here anymore because there was no affordable place for them. WAV has taken a big bite out of that.”

WAV had its ineveitable naysayers and everything didn’t work out exactly as envisioned, he said, but he thinks very positively of what has been accomplished. “The approach to how they financed the project with what they called ‘lasagna financing’ was really innovative and not something you would ever see a typical developer attempt.” Sid White was the key City of Ventura economic development official involved in the project. “I give very high marks to PLACE and to the process they used to ‘walk their talk’ about community involvement, sustainability, and social justice ... they sustained this through the tough economic changes that started in 2008 and have implemented a sound, stable project that our community is proud of.”

Said Eric Wallner, City of Ventura Manager of Creative Partnerships, “I couldn’t recommend another developer any more highly based on our experience with PLACE.” The City was involved in several important ways including land assemblage, financing participation, and working closely on coordinating zoning and building code requirements. We also spoke with several of the residents and visited their spaces. Based on input from the community, about half of the units were designated for lease by locals. A good number of residents came from outside of the community attracted by the development. One result was a bunch of new art-based small businesses in the community. “The space is great,” said one resident. “The biggest surprise has been the social component ... it is a lot more eclectic than I imagined it would be.”

While WAV is not in any way an exact example of what the Creative District Steering Committee has in mind here, it provides many useful lessons and it gives a glimpse into the talents and capabilities that PLACE can bring to the table. Every community member is invited to participate in the community forum on March 8th. For those who want to provide written comment and ideas, please do so at www.losalamos.icanmakeitbetter.com

Working the Puzzle

The Trinity Development is moving forward. This is a positive step, but by no means sufficient to bring about the improved vitality that is possible in our downtown. It is just one piece of the puzzle. So what else should we be working on? LACDC, through our programs and committees as well as through committees and initiatives that we participate in has been working on the answers:

• Establish a Tax Increment Development District (TIDD) for downtown Los Alamos. The MainStreet Futures Committee studied available approaches to financing public improvements in the downtown resulting in the recommendation that the County establish a TIDD covering the entirety of downtown.

White Rock is showing signs of renewed vitality lately, with Chamber members taking the lead. I often hear that there’s not much going on down there, but I beg to differ.

Some of our long standing Chamber members like del Norte Credit Union, Polk Oil, Smith’s and Los Alamos

National Bank have been happily operating in White Rock for decades.

Our community’s finest Montessori schools- Ponderosa, Bilingual Montessori and Sage Cottage have a strong foundation and years of operation under their belts.

The entire strip of businesses on the south side of State Road 4 are Chamber members- The Hive, Metzger’s, the Hampton, Time Out Pizza, the Bandelier Grill, and most recently Warm Hearts Yarn have all joined as well.

Dance Arts Los Alamos and TRK Management have also been active in the Chamber over the years.

White Rock businesses have been negatively affected by downward trends in tourism following both major fires, by the closing of Pajarito Road to all but badgeholders and by the fact that visitors don’t really realize “there’s a there there-“ they can’t identify a town center, and by the time they’re ready to stop, they’ve breezed on through.

Construction is always painful to businesses, but in the case of the improvements to State Road 4, it should pay off with the benefit of easier access and a more attractive streetscape, indicating that you have arrived in one of Los Alamos’ nicest neighborhoods.

Please join us for a day of networking and fun for the Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament benefiting United Way of Northern New Mexico.

We will kick it off at 1 p.m. on May 11th at Black Mesa Golf Course. To register or be a sponsor, go to www.fyila.com and look below the events calendar. Hope to see you there!

It’s not too soon to begin thinking about what you want to present at ChamberFest, June 8 and 9. On June 8, we’ll have our annual

Chamber banquet- or in our case, Picnic. June 9 is the big festival day- we’ll close off downtown Los Alamos to traffic, and your job will be to come and show off to thousands of potential customers. We’ll keep them entertained with a car show, live music, a sand pile and bubble pit for the kids, while you get the word out about your business, whether it be service, non-profit or even retail. Keep in mind that whatever you offer should serve to get people in the door of your business.

Working The Puzzle (continued from page 3)

The TIDD would not affect existing tax rates. It would designate a portion of new incremental tax proceeds that would come from the Trinity redevelopment and other downtown initiatives for public improvements throughout the downtown.

• Adopt and implement the Los Alamos Creative District. This plan, developed and recommended to the County by the Arts and Cultural District Steering Committee - facilitated by Los Alamos MainStreet, is a vehicle for forging and promoting a compelling identity for the pedestrian core of the downtown. The plan addresses collective marketing, physical improvements, and enabling incentives and mechanisms for cultural and retail business infill in this area. It also connects our community to an emerging statewide initiative to enhance and promote cultural tourism and visitation. The Creative District is a natural precursor to the anticipated Manhattan Project National Park presence in the downtown.

• Put the residual land at the municipal Building site into play for enhancing the pedestrian core of the downtown. LACDC championed the idea of locating the new municipal building in the downtown commercial area as a catalyst for redevelopment. Once a site was selected, MainStreet presented and successfully championed a concept for development that would enable creation of a new section of streetfront commercial development on Central Avenue. The County has invited proposals. If the County makes this a priority, new development in this location could be in place well ahead of the Trinity redevelopment. LACDC is facilitating a group of local businesses who are responding to the County’s invitation for proposals. Seventy-five percent of the space available in our proposed project is presubscribed by local businesses; and, there is an opportunity for any local business desiring to own their own storefront on Central Avenue to participate. Contact Kevin Holsapple at 661-4806, Kevin@losalamos.org for more information.

• Acquire and assemble downtown parcels that are ripe for redevelopment and pursue an agenda of redevelopment The MainStreet Futures Committee has recommended to the County that they take an active role in “land assembly” in order to enable redevelopment of sites that need it and that would help improve downtown vitality. A closely related concept is provision of municipal parking in place of private parking in order to encourage and support compact and efficient utilization of space in the pedestrian core.

• Address signage woes that negatively affect our businesses -- The MainStreet Futures Committee and the Chamber have long championed an overhaul of the County code governing signage. Many businesses have participated in identifying issues and deficiencies but it has been difficult to get attention to solving this problem. (continuted on page 9)

What Is MainStreet And Why Does It Matter?Second in a series of articles on MainStreet - and why it matters.

The MainStreet movement has transformed the way communities think about the revitalization and management of their downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts. A prosperous, sustainable community is only as healthy as its core. Main Street® stands for real places doing real work to revitalize their economies and preserve their character. Specifically, Main Street® is three things: a proven strategy for revitalization, a powerful network of linked communities, and a national support program that leads the field.

1. A Proven Strategy: The Main Street Four-Point Approach®.The Main Street Four-Point Approach® is a unique preservation-based economic development tool that enables communities to revitalize downtown and neighborhood business districts by leveraging local assets - from historic, cultural, and architectural resources to local enterprises and community pride. It is a comprehensive strategy that addresses the variety of issues and problems. The Four-Point Approach encompasses Organization, Design, Promotion and Economic Positioning. Organization involves working with the public and private scetor to plan and implement a comprehesive dowtown revitalization strategy; Design is improving the physical appearance of the downtown; Promotion works to enhance the image of downtown and attract people to it; Economic positioning involves strengthening and improving the downtown economy.

Next in the article series...A Powerful Network: The MainStreet Approach in Action.

Working The Puzzle (continued from page 8)

Additionally, the MainStreet Futures Committee has recommended that the County place a higher priority on developing and implementing a comprehensive approach to wayfinding signage throughout the County … particularly in commercial areas.

• Work to integrate activities at Trinity and MariMac into the larger downtown vision. Following the decision by the County to move ahead with the Trinity project, LACDC is seeking to engage the developer to influence their tenant development efforts. The goal is to suggest priorities for tenancies that will complement and enhance the

retail mix in the community rather than duplicate segments that are already well served. In addition, we want to be sure that they are well informed about the existing business base.

• Expand resources for assisting small business success. An area of initiative that LACDC seeks to expand (if resource partners can be found) is to provide highly-focused, small business support & assistance to businesses interested in evaluating the opportunities and issues for their business presented by the Trinity project. Many existing businesses have already noted that they desire to have a solid plan for niching and taking advantage of the increased shopper traffic in town that is anticipated to be a result of Trinity. The Chamber and the UNM-LA Small Business Development Center will work to serve these needs with applicable one-on-one assistance and training. The community assessment work we have done with Roger Brooks and Destination Development, Inc. and the “destination retail” work with John Schallert have been aimed at providing information and support that will help our business community to be successful.

Do these suggestions match up to the community plans that are already in place …. and can the community afford to take these things on? The answer is YES! All of these suggestions are concepts and recommendations that are adopted in the County’s Economic Vitality Strategic Plan. The County clearly has the means to provide resources for moving ahead and County staff that are no longer “acting” in key roles. Let’s keep working on and making progress on the puzzle.

The Story on Story by Cindy Whiting

Matt Story is a delight. Plain and simply, that’s what he is. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him without a smile on his face. Sometimes he just starts giggling for no apparent reason.

Matt has been volunteering here at the visitor center for a year. He comes in every week for an hour. He’s so bright and sunny he really lifts my mood. The time he’s here is one hour of fun for me. Even making coffee with Matt turns into a giggle session.

I think he’s well known for his parties. He loves parties. And he has sooooooo many friends (including me.) He also loves movies (so do I.)

I hope he continues adding this ray of sunshine to the visitor center for a long time to come!

Promoting Tourism by Cindy Whiting

In early February, I attended the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce’s hospitality industry business breakfast at the Lodge in Santa Fe. It was a gathering of representatives from the hottest tourist spots in the area. There were hoteliers, tour guides and writers all in the same room. The highlight of the meeting was Monique Jacobson - the Cabinet Secretary Department of Tourism for the State of New Mexico. She talked about her assessment of the tourism industry since she began her new employment last spring 2011.

The “Catch the Kid” contest last summer, while although rushed in implementation, was a success in its ability to promote travel throughout the state. Monique also shared a sobering focus group study that surveyed participants from around the country of their impressions of New Mexico. New Mexico was received with reticent expressions like “boring,” “only worth spending an hour there,” and “desert wasteland.”

Monique hired an advertising company to present New Mexico as a travel destination, and has implemented concepts in the tourism plan of attack. “Adventure Steeped in Culture” is the new state-wide theme to sell tourism. The latest promotion is called ‘Get the Picture’ with a $10,000 grand prize. What’s critical is the need to come together in the tourism industry to help New Mexico out of its slump.
