Today, I accompanied the contractor, engineering firm, and city lead staff on a community walk to visit every business along the Argonne corridor and update them on the Argonne project. The project is scheduled to start on June 9th between Grace and the bridge. My two biggest takeaways from the day are:
- I plan to make a targeted effort to support our local businesses! This is going to be a rough summer for the business district, and I plan on making sure all my summer meals out, coffee with friends, haircuts, and after-work drinks are at one of our businesses.
- Many of us in Millwood were not enthusiastic about this project! However, it is here, and I plan to do everything I can to promote transparent communication and support our neighbors and project staff as we move forward.
