The City Council’s Special Committee on the Future of Downtown is hindering the Downtown Investment Authority’s ability to work on projects, DIA CEO Lori Boyer said July 8.

The special committee was created by then-Council President Ron Salem in April to examine the DIA and elements involved in the progress of Downtown revitalization, which he described in a memo as “at best, debatable.” It has met twice, May 12 and June 10.

The committee could recommend changes to how DIA is funded and how it works with developers.
