Why should City of Arlington employees care about downtown Arlington?

"As a City of Arlington employee, I spend a lot of time in downtown Arlington. I also own a home close to downtown. This is where I work, enjoy lunch, and run errands. In a healthy downtown, I can find a lot of unique and interesting choices for shopping and dining, and know that I am contributing to the local economy."
— Luis Tamayo, Senior Planner
Coordinator of the Unified Master Planning process

"… It is important that we have an economically viable downtown in order to create more jobs and provide a stronger tax base for the city." 
— John Taylor, Chief Planner
