Journal:City Leading Rebirth Effort

St. Lawrence River
Here is a chance for all the naysayers to step to the forefront and provide some ideas on waterfront development.  Many have complained about City Government, including me.  Bringing ideas to the table is possible but changing the mindset could be a little more difficult. Attitudes can be changed but someone needs to be at the helm. 

We love to hate City Hall, but we voted these individuals into office and we have the ability to vote them out. I did not see an author to this story nor did it mention who they interviewed.  It must be someone with the authority to have these meetings. 

Did some golfing at Long Bay today, 80 degrees and a difficult course, at least for me. There was a lot of sand and water and a bunch of lost balls, lol.

Messr's Woods and Sciorra and a few other staffers presented this to a Private sector organization Board that i'm on a couple of sessions ago.

It was a general presentation , nothing particularly focused . They asked for impressions of the city and what were seen as issues as it affected perceptions .

Several members gave them specific feedback on what folks felt needed to be done in order to better position the City for the future.

It was a good first step BUT It will be interesting to see if any follow up of it comes to fruition with specific action strategies that result in meaningful improvement in several long standing problems. That said open dialogue is an excellent beginning . I'd urge others to GET INVOLVED . Let your voices be heard .
