WARD 5 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUMMIT
Trinity University
125 Michigan Avenue, NE
SATURDAY,OCTOBER 29TH
8:30 AM - 3:00 PM

One of the interesting events that Councilmember Orange sponsors is an annual economic development summit on issues in Ward 5. I won't be able to make this weekend's event because of a prior commitment but it's worth attending. (Note that no other councilmember offers an equivalent annual event.)

I don't have the agenda yet, but I will post it if I can get it. I do know that one of the sessions will be about the proposed mixed use development in the current parking lot adjacent to the Rhode Island Metro Station.

Another topic will be proposals for revitalizing the Florida Market area (I am sorry I'll miss that) and I imagine there will be an update of the "Costco" Shopping Center off South Dakota Avenue/New York Avenue.
