Chief Boykins addressed safety concerns in the downtown area and Jeff Gibney touched on developments such as Eddy Street Commons, East Bank Village, Coveleski Neighborhood Plan and the Studebaker Corridor.
Mayor Luecke strongly supports the Civic Engagement Team’s initiative of actively engaging YPs in our community. He cited the following vacancies on boards and commissions as opportunities for YPs to get involved:
