The results are in. Following 14-months of market studies, surveys, public meetings and interviews, the City of Huntsville will present music audit recommendations from Sound Diplomacy, a London-based music consultant, to the Huntsville City Council during its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, August 22.
The public is invited to attend a presentation and question and answer session on the findings Friday, August 23, from 12 – 1 p.m. at the Von Braun Center’s Concert Hall. Immediately following Friday’s public presentation, Sound Diplomacy will host a music strategy “Launch Celebration” at The Camp from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
“To attract and retain the best and brightest workforce, Huntsville needs a dynamic music and cultural scene,” said Shane Davis, Director of Urban Development for the City of Huntsville. “This is more than an amenity – it’s part of our BIG Picture planning, economic and workforce development.”
The music audit, commissioned by the City of Huntsville in April 2018 to provide the City with a strategic guide to develop a competitive music ecosystem, examined municipal codes, ordinances, zoning, communication and overall business practices to provide recommendations for growing this segment of Huntsville’s economy.
