Thank you to everyone who braved the elements this past Saturday for our 1st Contact meeting.
We had lively conversation and were joined by Dennis Louney--First Ward Commissioner for the Board of Water and Light--and Gilbert White.
Dennis Louney briefed our group on the progress that the BWL is making toward reviewing the outage event and what went wrong.
Mr. Louney has offered
for anyone to contact him at any time, should you have any questions. His number is: 721-1148.

Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper
Gilbert White gave a presentation
on his placemaking project that turns public spaces into small, cool
areas.
Some of the ideas include “play me” piano on the Avenue, seating and tables, solar lighting in trees, and other light and cheap projects. These are short-term experimental intervention in public spaces. They are low risk and low cost. Local residents can assist with different parts of the project. Mr. White has received grants and has MSU students working with him. He is currently meeting with business owners on the Avenue.
