Episode Details

Despite countless efforts by city and state leaders, downtown foot traffic is nowhere near pre-pandemic levels. Today, we’re talking with two local leaders who represent our central city: District 4 Councilor Olivia Clark and District 3 Councilor Steve Novick. We’re talking through the mayor’s ambitious new plans for downtown, what’s already in the works, some crazy ideas that just might work, and why it’s so important we continue to invest in our urban core.

Thank you to today’s sponsor, Pivot Property Management.
