4. Houses for sale: Clear commitment that these properties should be for home owners, and should not be purchased in order to rent.
5. 22 people visited during the Open House. There has been follow up with those who showed interest in buying. The members of the authority stressed the need to maintain focus on attracting artists (artist housing).
6. Talked about partnering with the Arts Alliance rather than having a general Open House to provide information about the properties for sale. General agreement that more targeted work focusing on artists would be useful. The authority discussed how they can more effectively partner with arts institutions, such as the Arts Alliance, and their upcoming events. Lots of interest in ideas such as having an artist, or artists, decorate one of the houses for the holidays.
7. 317 Green Street getting ready to go out for bid.
