Merchants along the HighlandDrive 33rd South Business District and have shown some interest in naming the Business District from 27th South to approximately 37th or 39th South and including businesses on 33rd South from about 17th East west to 13th East. This has been attempted in the past but was focused on one industry and has never caught on completely.

The Goal – to come up with a catchy name that people in town will start to use. We would like to get it to the level of recognition that “Sugarhouse” and “9th and 9th” have now.

It has been discussed not to use the Brickyard as a focus, but rather to draw the traffic up to Highland Drive and 33rd South and along the smaller side streets. Our shops have a much different feel than the “strip mall”atmosphere of the Brickyard. The business district has everything from high style to very eclectic.

The Benefits of this would be to help revitalize the Highland drive 33rd South Business District and then provide a possibility for cooperative advertising and local events like a street fair or stroll where we could possibly close off a few of the side streets and use the parking lots of some of the businesses for booths or entertainment.

We can create a logo for the business district and consider getting banners to hang on the light poles along  the streets.

Sample Logo - Ideas are welcome
