What: The first Hillcrest Business Forum will be a discussion concerning the economic revitalization of San Diego’s premiere urban neighborhood; Hillcrest.
Who: The Hillcrest Business Association presents UCSD Professor of Urban Studies Dr. Mirle Bussell as keynote speaker and invites the businesses of Hillcrest to discuss the future of Hillcrest’s business district.
Why: The City of San Diego’s pending Neighborhood Plan Update process for Uptown will develop a vision for the next 20-30 years for San Diego’s Uptown. As part of this process, the Hillcrest Business Association (HBA) is organizing a series of workshops to develop the future of one 
of San Diego’s most beloved neighborhoods. What will Hillcrest look like in ten years? Twenty years? Thirty Years? The HBA wants the public to become involved.
“Imagine if you could get together with a bunch of really bright folks over cocktails, invite the foremost experts in the field, and plan the future of Hillcrest” says committee co-chair and business owner Glenn Younger “Well that’s what we’re planning on doing.” Starting with this meeting, and each quarter after that, a community workshop will be held on a different topic. Experts will be invited into the neighborhood to educate the conversation on the latest thinking in urban planning. These guests will be engaged with our members through participatory activities. Topics will include parking, transportation, density, design, crime prevention, economic development, zoning and infrastructure.
Get involved…show up next Wednesday evening at Bombay Restaurant and contribute YOUR ideas. For more information, email Benjamin Nicholls or call (619) 299-3330.
