Retail must think differently. • “There are only three reasons why a consumer visits a store or a shopping center to purchase goods or services. They come either because of convenience, value or experience. In the “Age of Amazon”, convenience is no longer enough. This leaves us with value or experience.” - Garrick Brown, Vice President, Retail Intelligence The Great Retail Reinvention: Experience Matters Cushman & Wakefield 7 Community Outreach (Past efforts) • Postcards were sent to approx. 26,000 residents announcing the March 9, 2020 Community meeting. • Several Public Presentations and listening sessions were held to collaborate with the Galt Community Parks & Recreation (09 October 2019) Planning Commission (10 October 2019) Galt Chamber of Commerce (24 October 2019) Galt Market Community Plan Forum with Galt Chamber (04 November 2019) Galt Joint Union High School Board (07 November 2019) Galt Joint Union elementary School Board (20 November 2019) Open Galt Community Meeting (09 March 2020) • The COVID 19 pandemic has impacted the ability to hold as many public sessions as originally desired. • Ideas and opinions about the Galt Market Community Plan have been gathered though an online survey. 8  GALT MARKET COMMUNITY SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS WHAT'S MISSING FROM GALT?
