Activated Spaces: Pop-up Project Opprtunity!



Some of you may know that I'm volunteering with Activated Spaces a group that is all about giving new life to currently vacant downtown (Dayton) storefronts. It's been really fun getting involved with Downtown and we just finished our first phase. If you haven't voted for the People's Choice Award for our first phase you should, today is the last day!

Now we are in our second phase and our project is called the Pop-up Project. I'm not going to take any liberties with language so here is a blurb straight from the website:


Are you interested in opening a retail storefront in downtown Dayton? If so, we want to hear from you. The Activated Spaces Pop-Up Project, a component of the Greater Dayton Downtown Plan, is currently seeking proposals from prospective pop-up retail tenants. The minimal lease length for your retail shop will be three months. Spaces will have varying lease rates, but will be leased below market value.
We are also looking for prospective retail tenants to participate in the pilot Pop-Up Project. The pilot project will accept a one month leasing option to accommodate a retail tenant for the holiday season. Pilot program participants will also receive special discounts and support from Activated Spaces as part of involvement in the pilot.

If you are interested you should definitely apply here. If not, you can still help us out by spreading the word. If you have an industrious friend, family member or acquaintance who runs an online business or does craft shows, send this to them! As always, I love to hear your thoughts, so please share your thoughts on this project.
