The Pella Area Community and Economic Alliance shared a community development survey with the Pella City Council Tuesday.

In May, the PACE Alliance Downtown Development Council wanted to gather information on what employees and residents would like to see in the downtown area, particularly to attract and retain young professionals. As the survey was designed, questions were added to also capture information on what people would like to see in our area for recreation, events, retail, and food options.

The Downtown Development representatives in attendance last night gave recommendations to the city council, which included adding events and easing regulations on businesses looking to attract young professionals to the area.
