In this episode, we explore the efforts to maintain vibrant downtown cores, with Marijo Cuerrier, a driving force behind the Downtown Kingston Business Improvement Area.
Marijo is the Executive Director of the association and a passionate advocate for transforming ‘downtown’ into the quintessential hub for residents, businesses, and employees alike. In our conversation, she sheds light on the dynamic interplay between local politicians, potential customers, and the association's 700+ members. Discover how Marijo's employs her exceptional communication skills and innovative marketing to attract people downtown for more than ‘shopping’.
As mentioned in the episode, here is the updated Purpose for the BIA:
