Chamber Listens – Other people’s ideas

It would be great if there were higher standards for new buildings in the Billings area. Bozeman has a great consistency in their building codes and I feel that helps to make for better visually pleasing aesthetics. The buildings all seem to have a theme and I really like how uniform and welcoming that makes the town feel.
I think it would be great if Billings had more opportunities for young business professionals to network. I think a young business professionals golf league would be a great way for people in the community to meet and network. To help eliminate some of the anxiety that comes with meeting new people teams could be made up of 6. People who are interested can sign up in groups of three and then each group of three golfs with a new group every league night. That way attendees always know someone on their team, but they are still able to meet new people.
Require security guards at gas stations at night. People are afraid to go out in billings with weekly robberies at bar casinos Also. Need cameras at public parks and has stations sothe public can also watch out.
Dear Billings Chamber: The bike trails are one of the most impressive things about Billings. We are impressed with how the trail system has grown and how new connections have been made. We support the continued growth and expansion of the trail network in and around the City of Billings.
An overall RE-development plan of Riverfront Park that includes a whitewater park built in to the Yellowstone River. It would create a destination stop for all the vacationer vehicle traffic plus all the local use. Festivals, concerts, etc. See: Reno NV Truckee River Whitewater Park, Gunnison CO Gunnison Whitewater Park, Boise ID Boise River Park, etc. If you have the time check out the video about the development of SouthMain CO at http://www.southmainco.com/index.php/riverpark
Please please bring in some big name entertainment. Bozeman got Zack Brown, and many others. Missoula also brings in big names. Only after Missoula sold out Elton John, did we get him here. This may not be within your area of business, but a big name concert would certainly give Billings a boost in hotels, restaurants, etc. Thanks.
Let's get rid of the Tea Party legislators and elect some who will help our City. I like clean water. I like good roads. We need good schools. Government is not the enemy.
