January 11th 2021 Virtual Meeting
The January meeting was informational and informative. Highlights included new WDI CEO and President, Holly Childs talking about her experience and vision as the leader of the economic development organization. Collaboration with other downtown groups and stakeholders is high on her list, along with looking at ways to increase employment centers, increase job opportunities and diversification in the base. Paul Lawler provided an important update and message about the funding of WAVE Transit and its impact on the future of the Port City Trolley in the Downtown District areas. There is an urgent need to alert and message the County Commissioners and City Council members regarding the value the new trolley has provided to downtown with the new route in place. Furthermore, it is evident there is a need for both trolleys to be put in service to reduce the route time (currently 40 minutes) to 20 minutes round trip. The trolley is the only route that has realized increased ridership even during the pandemic. An impressive 71% increase! Mayor Pro Tem, Margaret Haynes, reiterated the urgency to contact the elected officials and voice your opinion.
