Kutak Rock

I am honored to be your 2021 Chair and look forward to a very productive and constructive 2021. In 2021 the DSP is focused on renewing the BID contract with the City of Spokane, addressing public safety and homelessness, implementing organizational changes to advance diversity, equity and inclusiveness, and the formation of a Tax Increment Financing district to support the financing of both a downtown parking garage as part of a mixed-use development and downtown affordable housing.

Members of the DSP Board of Directors provide a variety of skills and expertise, community connections, occupations, ages and backgrounds. Members are nominated every November with the final slate to be approved by membership at the DSP Annual Meeting each February.
