MANHATTAN - The Aggieville Business Association addressed the Manhattan City Commissioners requesting to waive parking fees associated with the Aggieville Parking Garage and on April 4th, the City Commissioners declined to waive the fees.
According to Dennis Cook, Aggieville Business Association Director, following the meeting, city officials spoke to members of the Aggieville Business Association expressing their desire to provide assistance to the district, but in another way.
Members of the Aggieville Board of Directors, have come up with a proposal to present to the City Commission asking for funding to disperse throughout the business district.
The proposal includes purchasing gift cards and certificates from businesses within the district and then distribute them to members of the public to use and to boost the support of the businesses in Aggieville.
