Background and Analysis:

The PBIA Board has identified a desire to connect with new residents of Downtown as more market rate housing is being brought online. The proposed welcome packet will consist of a greeting letter from the PBIA Board chair and an ”I love Downtown Olympia” button. Packets will be distributed to new residents of 123 4^th Ave, 321 Legion Ave, Annie’s Artist Lofts, Billy Frank Jr. Place, and any other Downtown residential housing as identified by the PBIA Board and our partners.
