That conversa- tion is continuing and from it created a new conversa- tion - whether or not to change the BIAs name from Clinton and Central Huron BIA to just Central Huron BIA. The branding conversa- tion started from a Commu- nity Improvement Plan cre- ated last year by an outside organization the municipal- ity hired. This report brought forward a number of improvement ideas for the municipality, including a new slogan. The municipality and BIA have taken bits and pieces of that plan and are modifying them to create actionable improvements. "The BIA is looking at that and thinking, is it time for us to do something to make a change in terms of our brands?" said BIA co- chair Tricia Robinson. "We asked, who do we want to target; how do we want to do that?" They began thinking of their logo, which has a heart on it, referring to "the Heart of Huron". The rebranding committee formed which consists of members of the BIA as well as members of council. Now, the BIA is consider- ing their name itself. At this point, it is simply a point for discussion. It is by no means a sure thing, and they are expecting there to be a lot of conver- sation about the topic. They are inviting all of their members to attend their meeting on Novem- ber 8; members of the pub- lic are always welcome at meetings as well. On their website recently, they wrote the following: "As the Co -Chairs, Tricia and [Michael] would like to put forward this name change. This is a topic that will create lengthy discus- sion. We encourage you to come to our next BIA meet- ing (November 8th) with any questions, concerns and comments you may have. If you cannot attend this meet- ing we are accepting emails Downtown Clinton. with your thoughts or a sim- ple yes or no answer. A date and time for a proper vote will be discussed at this meeting."
