We welcome our new business rep, Kathy Setzer,

a partner in the new Eastside Inn at 1609 E. Cesar Chavez Street.  And we thank the other business folks who participated in our nominations process.   Kathy brings a wealth of knowledge to help us deal with the barriers small businesses have in coming into our area.  The ECC Team recognized Kathy’s commitment to respect our voluntary design guidelines, willingness to go door-to-door to meet her new neighbors, and her experience with codes related to commercial design standards that conflict with our goals of historic preservation, makes her the perfect small business advocate for our area.  Kathy also shares her web design talents with our Festival Beach Community Garden and is leading a makeover of our ECC website.  See her design skills and Eastside Inn work: http://reyzers.com
