The Honorable, Cambridge City Council,
I am writing on behalf of the newly formed Central Square Business Improvement District to
request your support to Install a series of banners along the Mass. Ave. corridor designed to
celebrate our shop local initiative. As you know, the strength and vibrancy of our commercial
districts comes from our anchor tenants - our mom & pop stores. The CSBID believes that
having a campaign highlighting our Independent retallers during a vital shopping season is
critical to the districts success. In addition to the banner campaign we will be hosting a POP
Central (pop-up) which is supported by CDD. We will also have our BID ambassadors handing
out district maps created by CDD and will roll out a strategic online campaign spotlighting our
local merchants. Along with the banner visuals, I have also attached a map of the intended
locations for banner display.
Following your review and consideration, I hope you will agree and approve the installation of
these banners hignlight our local merchants.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and please let me know if you have questions or
require any further information.
