MISSION AND VISION FOr THe macK road parTNerShIp
We WILL be proactive in determining the future of mack road.
In order to protect their investment, parcel owners must take part in the process that determines how new development projects are implemented. The Mack Road Partnership is the vehicle which allows these owners to lead and shape future developments.
We WILL attract new business and investment throughout mack road.
If Mack Road is to compete as a successful commercial district, it must develop its own well financed, proactive strategy to retain businesses and tenants as well as attract new business and investment. The Mack Road Partnership provides the financial resources to develop and implement a focused strategy that will work to fill vacancies and attract new businesses to all areas of Mack Road.
We WILL create an opportunity for a unified voice for Mack Road.
Because parcel owners invest financial resources through the Partnership, they are looked upon as a strong partner in negotiations with the City. This partnership has the ability to leverage the parcel owners’ investment with additional public investment in Mack Road. Both property and business owners are united under the Partnership’ s umbrella, which approaches the public sector with a viable and unified private sector voice.
We WILL establish private sector management and accountability.
As the non-profit, private-sector business organization formed for the sole purpose of improving Mack Road, we manage the services provided through the oversight of an Executive Director. Annual Partnership work plans and budgets are vetted by a board composed of stakeholders that own businesses and property in the Mack Road area. New marketing and promotion services are subject to private sector performance standards, controls and accountability. The Executive Director and staff of the Partnership have responsibility for promoting and enhancing the desirability of the Mack Road area.
