  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 2019 W2W Impact Report
    I M P A C T R E P O R T 2 0 1 9 A program of DIRECTOR'S NOTE our accomplishments What a year 2019 has been for the Women2Women program. If you were able to attend any of our events this year, you noticed the audience continues to grow. Extensive research is conducted prior to our program year begins to ensure we are offering high level, relevant topics from local and regional speakers who share their experiences and always leave us with tools to better ourselves both personally and professionally. And this shows in our end-year survey, at an increase of at least +6% points across the board YOY: 82% have discovered new resources/tools as a professional (2018 - 76%) 78% have gained new knowledge relevant to their professional goals (2018 - 66%) 73% have gained new skills relevant to their professional goals (2018 - 63%) 72% have better access to resources/tools needed to be successful (2018 - 60%) 2019 was also the launch of our newest initiative - Women2Women 2.0. W2W 2.0 was created to take our programming to companies who want a development experience for women tailored to the vision and goals of their own companies. We currently have two internal Lean In Circles ongoing and have shared our workshop topics and speakers with two large companies. The 2.0 program is a true success and nod to out-of-the-box thinking to reach more women. As we look to 2020, our 10th anniversary year, I am overcome with excitement for what is on the horizon for Women2Women, and what the next 10 years looks like.
