My next meeting was back downtown at\u00a0The Mug<\/a>coffee shop. Each Tuesday I meet with\u00a0Molly<\/a>, our City Manager,\u00a0Melinda<\/a>, our City’s Economic Development Director, and\u00a0Sonya<\/a>, our City Councilwoman, to discuss City projects and plans.I live for Tuesday’s because I learn so much about the process for how you can leverage your dollars to go further with the governmental resources that are available. It gives me a new appreciation for the work that our City governments do, and I feel fortunate to be included.Today we talked about improvements that will be made to our local library!<\/div>\n
