Key Quotes:
“I’m really hopeful for this year, and I think it will be the case that it really feels like a celebration. Like you said at the beginning, it does feel like we’re maybe easing out of COVID or at least vaccinations are becoming more prominent. So, it’ll be a big party.” – Luke Feeney
“I think that you can’t talk about the good stuff without talking about the progress downtown. he more we incorporate… whether it’s fireworks, or city activities with drawing people downtown…Downtown, in a sense is like a city pool in that it is a shared space for the whole community.” – Luke Feeney
“Having an app like this not only makes it easy to pay, but makes it makes the parking easier to find. And, we just need to continually think about… not just what’s convenient for us as people who live or work downtown… but, how do I make it easy for people to come here, have dinner, and spend the night, and do some shopping?” – Luke Feeney
