But a close look reveals that the downtown area, from ber 1966. The citizens thought they had been discriminated against when the freeway opened before access roads into the city were completed. The city was isolated for several months until the roads were finished. Today City Clerk Vert Dallin discusses two indicators of busi- 400 South to the City Park, is but a shadow of its days.

Attention has been focused on the problem lately because the mayor and city council have pro-posed that they form a Downtown Redevelopment Agency under the Utah Neighborhood Act. But they are not the first ones to be concerned with downtown development in the Art City's history. In January 1960 the Chamber of Commerce invited the Chamber manager from Ogden, Bernie Diamond, to speak to a dinner audience of local businessmen. His subject was "Stimulating Economic Development." Diamond's talk didn't improve things much according to a story in the January 3, 1963, issue of the Springville Herald which reported on a survey conducted by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The JC survey found local citizens saying that Main Street business houses needed to be improved and be better stocked. Fifty-thre- e percent of those polled rated it as the number one problem in the City.
