Greater Reading: a Call to Action
GREATER READING: A CALL TO ACTION To: The Greater Reading Community The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading (ICGR) was started by several local business leaders in response to a challenge – and a commitment of support – by local elected political leaders. These early initiators recognized and stated that they wanted something differ- ent, something real, and something that would make an impact toward creating an exciting and vibrant future for the Greater Reading region. Our approach was based on a simple principle – quality of life begins with a healthy economy. Put more simply, we needed to provide jobs for our residents. And, given our recent history of losing so many jobs, this required us to begin to think about doing some things differently. The good news is that we found a widespread interest in bringing about the necessary changes. What we found lacking initially, at least, was the necessary consensus on priorities. The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading set about to change this. Our region is unique in many ways. Sure, we have our problems and challenges. Who doesn’t? But we took account of these, dealt with them and focused most of our efforts on a very real set of opportunities. This we called “dealing with reality”. And “dealing with reality” implies, first, that we recognize things as they actually are, not as we wish they might be or as we might remember them. Among today’s realities, we all need to accept and come to terms with the following: - The region cannot be successful without a vibrant urban core.

Eric Church Doesn't Back Down on Holdin' My Own
ERIC CHURCH DOESN’T BACK DOWN ON HOLDIN’ MY OWN TOUR Standing behind his vow to put face-value tickets in fans’ hands, Church cancels secondary market ticket orders and releases them back to the public - Tuesday, Feb 21 at NOON. Tickets available while supplies last for Eric’s show at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on March 31 at www.AXS.com. Nashville, Tenn. – After witnessing the three-hour, two-set marathon show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center merely weeks ago, Rolling Stone professed, “Eric Church sets the bar.” The exchange in energy with the audience and passion that fuels the man behind the CMA’s Album of the Year is an earned one after years of putting his fans first. Whether it is the dozens in attendance at his first performance in Bethel, New York or the 15,842 in attendance for last month’s breezy night in Brooklyn, it is that unrivaled dedication to surpassing their expectations that is driving another mission: ensuring fans’ hard-earned money is spent fairly on face-value tickets at each and every stop on his 60-plus city Holdin’ My Own Tour. Throughout the Holdin’ My Own Tour, Eric and his team have systematically identified, cancelled and released tickets back to the public that were identified as scalper tickets. Already on the tour, Eric’s management team used a proprietary program to release thousands of tickets back to the public and fans in markets like Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Toronto, Vancouver and Boston. On Feb. 21 at noon local time, the team will release to the official ticketing website all tickets identified as scalper-purchased for the remaining markets back to the public.

AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAN January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025
Reading Downtown Improvement District AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAN January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025 I. INTRODUCTION The Reading Downtown Improvement District (DID) was created in 1995 in response to property owner, employee and business owner requests for a cleaner, safer downtown Reading. For twenty-five years the Reading DID has provided services above and beyond what would have been provided by the City of Reading. Through a special assessment, levied upon all commercial properties within the District, downtown Reading is a cleaner, safer and more inviting place to live, work and visit. This year, assessed property owners will consider whether the Reading DID should continue for another five- year term. This document is the Preliminary Plan for the DID and outlines its accomplishments, proposed changes and required renewal procedures. In advance of seeking re-authorization, the Reading Downtown Improvement District Authority (RDIDA), with funding from the Berks Alliance, engaged in a strategic planning process to re-examine the organization’s programs, budget, and structure with the goal of increasing the DID’s value proposition to ratepayers and other downtown stakeholders. An Executive Summary of this strategic plan is included as an attachment to the Preliminary Plan A link to the Executive Summary and Strategic Plan is included in this document. In summary, the Strategic Plan offer the following pivots to enhance the DID’s value proposition: • Excel in Core Services. The RDIDA will implement program changes to deliver consistent, high-quality clean, safe and green services throughout the District. • Expand Scope of Services. Compared to DIDs nationally, the Reading DID has a relatively narrow scope of services.
