I happily serve on the Revitalization Committee. I want to see positive movement. I agree that we need to see positive signs. We seem to be moving in the right direction. Firstly, much has been accomplished to move people to feeling welcome and comfortable in the Square. I have participated in many of the new annual events that are now scheduled. That is an objective of the plan already under way. Secondly, I want to see the ring road reconfigured and the park space established along the river. To achieve this I will continue to work supportively with the Mayor in his efforts to secure the necessary funding. Thirdly, the next thing we need to do is make progress in adding housing/attractive businesses to the square. To achieve this, I want to find a way to hire, in the Office of Community Development, a project manager of some type for this endeavor, who would act as a promoter of the initiative and over-see the project.
