Bill Poulos, of Citizens For Northville, Invites Community to Meeting on Development Project Recommendations for City Council, in Light of Tabled "Downs" Project

NORTHVILLE, Mich., Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bill Poulos, Member of Citizens For Northville, urges fellow Northville residents and business owners to join him tomorrow evening at Marquis Theater. The meeting will address Citizens For Northville group's findings and recommendations concerning improved communications and collaboration between the City and its citizens, regarding future development proposals including specific redevelopment projects. The necessity for change comes on the heels of the currently tabled "Downs" Area project and the lessons learned from the land redevelopment approval process with the City. Poulos and other members of Citizens For Northville hope to receive the community's input on the recommendations they plan to present to the City Council in November.

The meeting will take place on October 24th at 7pm in the Marquis Theater. All Northville community members and business owners are invited to tomorrow's Marquis Theater meeting where they can give input on the presented recommendations. Feedback can be provided during the meeting or after the meeting via email.

Discussing the Northville Downs project is not on the agenda for this meeting. An integral part of this meeting will look at ways that citizens can offer a timely response to future developments. Previous problems encountered include difficulty navigating the City's website. There is limited opportunity for community members to provide comments at City meetings and they are not prompted to engage in the process with many left unaware of key planned developments.

Citizens for Northville proposals include setting up a real-time, two-way, collaborative communication process between the City and the community. Ways to improve communication could include setting up a weekly City email, creating a Facebook page where community members can comment and communicating through "The Ville".

Citizens for Northville was established this past July in response to the "Downs" redevelopment project. Northville, Michigan is a small town with approximately 6,000 people. Many are worried about the impact "the Downs" area redevelopment or similar proposals may have on the city—including things like roads, traffic, architectural feel, sewage, and overall cost benefits.

The proposals put forward at tomorrow's meeting in the Marquis Theater will be presented to the City Council for approval at their Town Hall meeting, on November 18, 2019.

Businessman and philanthropist Bill Poulos is the driving force behind trying to implement a better way of communication between officials and the community. Poulos, a resident of Northville, began his working life at General Motors where he worked to build better and safer cars for the first half of his career. After retiring from his automotive executive career, Poulos established Profits Run, Inc., an educational financial publishing company. Poulos is focused on giving back to the community through his many causes and initiatives. This meeting is just one of his many ways that he wants to help people and give back to the community. It is hoped this will be the first step towards allowing community members to become more informed regarding future developments and having their say in a timely way.

About Citizens for Northville
Citizens for Northville, LLC. was established by Bill Poulos in July 2019 in response to the "Downs" redevelopment project. There was a keen awareness in the town that "The Downs" could make or break Northville. It was recognized that planning issues like costs, benefits, issues and impact on local infrastructure were not known or understood by residents. It also became evident that locals had limited input into the Master Plan. Citizens for Northville, LLC. is on a mission to implement real change that will benefit the community for years to come.
