September Roundtable: Greenfield PD Downtown Substation
Join your fellow business owners and operators on Tuesday, September 24th at 5 PM for a conversation with Chief Todd Dodge, Community Liaison Maria Burge, and Officers Jay Butinski and Jason Haskins, to hear more about the reopening of the downtown Greenfield PD substation, and the vision for how it can benefit the city as a whole - beginning with the downtown landscape. There will be an opportunity for ideas, concerns, and questions, and we encourage ALL business stakeholders to attend, not just our downtown business owners. This is a space for business-specific conversation and is not a meeting for the general public.
Space is limited, so please RSVP HERE. We will relocate this meeting as needed to accomodate everyone who is interested in joining us, and relocation details will ONLY be sent to registered attendees.
You do not need to have a business in the particular corridor to attend - come join the conversation!
