Yesterday’s first public meeting of the newly-formed Downtown Business Association in Twentynine Palms drew business owners, community members, and residents – all interested in growing business and tourism in their city. Reporter Heather Clisby has details…

With about 35 people in attendance, the Downtown Business Association hosted a coffee-and-donuts meeting that was open to all residents and business owners excited about the future of Twentynine Palms. The meeting was held at The Grnd Sqrl, a beer bar and eatery that opened last spring. Owner Michael Usher is also DBA president.

DBA President Michael Usher led the meeting and the ‘Rediscover 29’ presentation.

The location is mere feet away from Project Phoenix, the downtown redevelopment project that is set to officially open on March 12.

Usher led the meeting with introductions of DBA officers that include Vice-President Stephen Pzbyloski, owner of White Label Vinyl; Secretary Anita M. Petke, owner of The Lobby by Desert Beacon, and Co-Treasurers, Chelsea and Andrew Evans, owners of Hi-Desert Daydream.

There was a ‘Rediscover 29’ slide presentation that included a long list of potential events that could be held in the new paseo and surrounding area. “We are very proud of what we have and we’re about to have more than we ever had,” said Usher, “but we have more power as a group.” There was group discussion and brainstorming around events, transportation issues, relationship with the Marine base, and how to highlight the city’s history and natural resources.

The DBA is looking to grow its’ membership and will host public meetings every other Monday at 10:00 a.m. at The Grnd Sqrl, 73471 Twentynine Palms Highway. For more info, call Melisa Tennies at 760-401-4078 or Anita M. Petke at 760-865-0056 or visit the DBA website at rediscover29.com.
