Dark Horse began collaborating with the Fox Cities Chamber in 2021 after undertaking the transformation of Appleton’s City Center Plaza into Fox Commons, a centralized mixed-use community hub comprised of student housing, commercial, retail and dining. The Chamber quickly became a valuable partner in our endeavor. Their unwavering commitment to fostering connections and facilitating collaboration has played an instrumental role in shaping the success Fox Commons, which will open Fall of 2024 and will be a key catalyst in the continued invigoration of the Fox Cities.
One of the remarkable attributes of the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce is its ability to bridge gaps and connect like-minded individuals within the community. As Dark Horse Development reimagined the City Center Plaza, the Chamber provided a platform for us to engage with a diverse array of professionals through facilitated meetings, networking events, and targeted introductions.
Navigating the complexities of a project as large as the City Center Plaza redevelopment presented its fair share of challenges. The Chamber’s role in offering valuable insights, resources, and support has been truly remarkable. Whether identifying potential collaborators for specific aspects of the project, providing market research to inform our decision-making, or simply acting as a sounding board for our ideas, the Chamber consistently went above and beyond to ensure that Dark Horse Development had the tools and knowledge needed to succeed.
