Dear Paris,


This is your week. Decide wisely. Entrepreneurs are trying to launch, businesses are gearing up for the most active months of the year and making decisions right now that shape the future of our city storefront by storefront. We'll host Mayor Melvin Carter to talk about building a better City line by line, lane by lane with the Mayor's Budget workshop on May 23rd at Sun Ray Lanes. It's an opportunity to see how East Side priorities match up with City Hall. We'll have info on The PROMISE Act too which launches June 2. Today stop by the ANEW Grand Opening Open House to tour the new Childcare and Health and Wellness Center and celebrate these new assets. And this is your week to consider if you want to jump on in with ESABA to bring visitors to your door - get featured on the visitor's page, offer a deal, get ready to welcome new customers for the BIG summer events the East Side is hosting starting with Art in the Hollow, Water Fest, and The Dragon Festival. We are building it, the customers are on their way... Are you ready?
