Greetings!

We're eager to hear your great ideas in dialogue with our State Legislators next week when we do East Side Connect! Big Money - Legislative Updates - Thursday Feb 9th. Come talk about the deals we need to make sure don't skip the East Side. We had a great time at Breakfast with the Mayors where the coffee was good... and the company made it all worth it! Along with the PABA Annual Meeting last week, we entertained the best of questions about what to do to help the East Side thrive. Here's a place where you can keep the conversation going about the 1% tax solution and other ideas you have for what would help small businesses - Small Business Survey. And this week check out Vocal Point Concert for Urban Roots and the Payne-Phalen Data Party. What a cool way to make a plan!

For that Skip in your Step -
Public Art at the Heights - a Chance to shape the public art components at The Heights
