The interim committee members decided Tuesday night its goal is to formulate an ordinance to help the final committee enhance Downtown area architecture.
The interim group also elected officers and initiated a plan to eventually form a permanent advisory committee to the city council.
Ward Two City Councilman James Thriffiley explained to committee
members, “This group will eventually become an organization similar to New Orleans’ Vieux Carre Commission which will work toward promoting architecture to enhance the community.”
The Downtown commercial area is a commercially zoned area roughly encompassed by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Toulme and State Streets, and the beachfront.
