Hello downtown friends -
Happy Labor Day weekend to all! I'd like to give a special Labor Day shout-out to our dedicated team of ambassadors and staff here at the Downtown Tucson Partnership (DTP). We are a small but mighty team of five administrative staff and 19 Safety and Maintenance Ambassadors performing essential work. Our employees work tirelessly each day to clean, beautify, maintain, market, promote, communicate, respond, and keep a close eye on Downtown Tucson. Thank you, DTP ambassadors and staff!
Just in time for a busy and eventful weekend, the DTP welcomes Tucsonans and visitors alike with a fun new on-street marketing campaign. The campaign includes 200 street banners featuring captivating images, 300 planter signs, 200 sidewalk decals and 38 Bigbelly trash compactors displaying 152 pieces of vinyl signage including a new user-friendly map of downtown. Thank you, Pima County and Visit Tucson for providing the funding for this campaign.
In other news, Rio Nuevo recently announced support for some new and exciting projects on Toole Avenue. Plus, the event season officially kicks off today with two major events happening downtown through the long weekend: HOCO Fest and Tucson Comic-Con. Read about all this and more in the update below.
See you downtown,
