A good healthy business district dis-trict is vital to a community was an axiom that met witn muiuai assent at a joint special spe-cial joint meeting of the Orem City Council, City Planning Commission and Orem Chamber Cham-ber of Commerce officers held at tne city hall Nov. 18. Objective of the meeting was to hear an analysis of the Orem business district prepared prepar-ed by I. Dale DeSpain, private planning consultant, for the planning commission. "Types of businesses which: usually characterize the central cen-tral business district of a city of 18,000 inhabitants (Orem's population), but which are not found in Orem, to any great extent, are primary shoppers goods stores," Mr. Despain stated. (Primary Shoppers goods stores are defined as clothing and apparel stores, specialty shops, department stores, and jewlery shops, etc.) The analysis disclosed that about 22 per cent of the consumer con-sumer dollar of the people living in Orem is spent outside of Orem for primary shoppers goods items. Dollars spent for primary shoppers goods by the people in Orem is sufficient to support nearly 50,000 square feet of sales floor space, if such facilities are placed in the right location, the study dis closed. Ripe for Dept. Store Keynote of the analysis showed that although Orem is ripe for a large department store, "there is not likely many primary shoppers goods stores will be established in Orem until a cluster of stores can be developed in an intercepting inter-cepting location, which will take advantage of the principle princi-ple of cumulative attraction, or else until the population of the city reaches 30,000 to 40,000 peope." The principle of cumulative attraction is not present in Orem. The report showed that good merchandizes know that a given number of stores deal ing in the same merchandise or related merchandise will do more business if they are lo cated adjacent or in proximity to each other, than if they are widely scattered. Suggestions Cited Suggestions for improvements improve-ments in the Orem business district were cited as follows: "Private developers should be encouraged to build a cluster of primary and secondary shoppers goods stores in an intercepting (where key streets intercept or in close proximity to each other) lo- 1 A! J 3 HI. 41 "" -.. . principles of retail store lo cation and layout, and at a size commensurate with the economic potential." "But Orem is beginning to emerge and is about ripe for a department store situated in the right ocation," the consultant con-sultant averred. . vl 'X .-a TO PERFORM AT HOLIDAY "POPS" CONCERT HERE Cental Utah Civic Symphony Orchestra which will preset a matinee "Pops" concert for the families1 of Central Utah in the Scera Auditorium.

The total $9,000 would be matched by $9,000 in federal matching funds.
