It is with much enthusiasm that, on behalf of the North Topeka Business Alliance, I welcome the NOTO Arts District to North Topeka. Not only will the area become a destination for artists, but will be a great place for the community as a whole. As a life-long resident of North Topeka and a current business owner in the community, it is truly exciting to anticipate how the NOTO Arts District will transform Downtown North Topeka.

I am very enthused with the opportunity of establishing an Arts District in Historic North Topeka. This endeavor will not only be beneficial economically and culturally for North Topeka, but also for all of Topeka and neighboring communities. I believe the development of NOTO will prove to be a very positive advancement in an area that has the amenities to make it successful.
