The City of Mobile's momentum continues. Here are a few updates:
I attended the groundbreaking of the Advanced Manufacturing Center at Bishop State Community College. This is $21 million project that will educate our workforce for our diverse and growing industries.
On a conference call, I spoke with the Department of Transportation Acting Under Secretary, Joel Szabat, FMC Commissioners Lou Sola and Rebecca Dye and Carnival Cruise CEO Christine Duffy concerning the economic impact of COVID-19 on the cruise industry. Our cruise ship brings more than $6 million in revenue to our City. I was honored to be chosen as the only Mayor to discuss our Port City.
Lastly, I met with a team of interns known as "The Mayor's Squad." Typically, we have more than 150 young people in and around our offices. Due to COVID-19, many of them worked remotely. Nevertheless, these students have worked together over the last month, meeting through Zoom, to complete a survey targeting their generation's needs, wants and thoughts about the City of Mobile. I look forward to seeing the impact this generation has on Mobile. I am inspired by their drive to accomplish change! They are asking the tough, yet necessary questions that are critical to the continued momentum of our City.
