Cool Cities Presentation: Tomorrow DDA Director Amy Connolly is gathering forces to seek a Cool Cities designation from the Michigan Economic Development Corp board. At stake is $200,000 of technical assistance (over 3 years) that could lead to new jobs, more private investment, and more downtown residents. Amy has been working on a presentation (or a skit) based on The Today Show. Starring in this skit are Rotary's own Brent Earl (as Matt Lauer) and Susan Grimes Munsell (as Katie Couric). Perhaps there will be a tape available for a Rotary program. Good luck everyone!
