Special Appreciation
The BID Board wants to take this opportunity to thank many of the shoulders it comes to stand on today.
First and foremost, for all of the groups, organizations, associations, and people who worked on creating a better, more vibrant and thriving downtown Gallup. It is with your spirit, hard work, and dedication to the beauty of Gallup and its people that we move forward. Many of you were the same men and women, who formed the Downtown Gallup Merchant's Association twenty-five years ago, and/or the Downtown Development Group who worked on the problem of declining business activity downtown in the 1980s and early 1990s. For these efforts we salute and depend on your wisdom
We also want to salute the City of Gallup, McKinley County, and our Legislators for their vision, determination, and audacity to invest in improving downtown Gallup. From the Courthouse Square to the new Gallup Walkway , and from the Mural Project to the Veteran’s memorial, the public sector has created first class venues and avenues for the people of Gallup to celebrate and commemorate what makes us “great”. We look forward to continued partnership in developing a quality-of-place in Gallup’s downtown.
Government helped provide a catalyst for new and expanded investment in Downtown Gallup, which the private sector has leveraged to:
We wanted to thank all the business and property owners in downtown Gallup for investing in their dreams, giving their lives, and donating much more to the vitality of our city’s core.
We understand that there are miles to go and that continuous improvement is just that a consistent journey to make Downtown Gallup a place where people come to work, live, play, shop, and visit. Furthermore, we understand that the current recession and economic downturn has changed the paradigm from thriving on America’s mainstreets to surviving on America’s mainstreets. The current “State of the Nation” forces all of us not only to work harder but starter to retain sales, customers, and employees.
The Gallup BID believes that the time has come to reinvest in ourselves, our businesses, and the heart of Gallup. We will overcome adversity by working together through innovation and building on our core values and assets.
