Economic Development Panel Cavallino Dennis Burns, Carl Walker, Inc. Max Clark, Capital City Development Corp. Anne Guest, Missoula Parking Commission It is hard to argue that the parking and transportation industries are not negatively affected by national and local economies. Conversely, the parking and transportation industries are recognized as effective tools to positively affect economic development of municipalities. Enhanced access and convenience (through parking and transportation options) are increasingly utilized by city planners and administrators to improve the downtown experience. This is especially true of revitalized, compact downtown areas. Our Economic Development Panel will provide proven strategies and case study examples of how parking and transportation programs have played an important role in the stimulation of economic development in Boise, Idaho, Missoula, Montana and elsewhere.
