Downtown Specialist and miscellaneous updates Mayor Donchess: James Vayo joined the city on March 7th as the new Downtown Specialist. Jame’s main focus will be downtown stimulation and making things happen over time. BIDA can help in that effort. FHW and NHDOT are proving to be difficult negotiations regarding remainder parcels with the Broad Street Parkway. The city is working to decide what to do with NIMCO space, High Street redevelopment and Walnut Street oval. The latter which may require configuring some streets, including Pearl Street to weave into block pattern.
