PRESQUE ISLE — Discussion on the creation of a downtown logo will continue March 11, picking up where officials with the Presque Isle Downtown Revitalization Committee left off at earlier meetings. Following the selection of a design firm, Heidesigns, of Fort Kent, talks were set up between Heidi Carter, owner of the business, and members of the DRC to pursue a logo design to promote downtown Presque Isle. Thanks to Mother Nature, a storm caused the latest meeting to be shortened. Now organizers are ready to sit down and continue the discussion, with input from the public encouraged.
“The PIDRC wants to make sure it gets input concerning the downtown logo and tagline project from as many people as possible in order to help our graphic designer in creating the best logo and tagline possible for Presque Isle,” said Rachel Rice, a member of the PIDRC Promotions Committee.
Rice said feedback would be helpful in coming up with the design. She said the more input Carter receives about “local perceptions of the downtown, the better the finished product is going to be.”
A questionnaire has been distributed locally and information gathered will be provided to Carter to aid her in the creation of the logo and tagline.
Events will pick up on Wednesday where they left off at the last meeting, with the first item on the agenda being a walking tour downtown.
“The itinerary will pick back up on March 11, with a walking tour and proceed as scheduled for the original date,” said Jason Parent, a member of the Promotions Committee.
Following the tour, Carter will join members of the PIDRC for dinner at Governor’s. After dinner, Carter is scheduled to attend a fact-finding forum at the Northeastland Hotel.
“The walking tour begins at 3:30 p.m.; dinner is scheduled for 5 p.m.; then it’s on to the forum, which is slated for 6:30 to 8 p.m. and is open to the public,” said Parent.
