In previous podcasts, we've talked with City Community Services Director, Mitch Kennedy about the Northside Initiative,  of what the large redevelopment program entails, as well as focusing in on one aspect of the initiative, , which recently broke ground. Today, on the heels of recent news from the Mary Black Foundation of a  for the initiative, we shift gears a little, talking with former Mayor and Northside Development Corporation Chair, Bill Barnet about the importance of the Northside to the future of our city.
