A new committee looking at the city agency that’s supposed to bring in development to downtown met for the first time Monday. The question many have now is why downtown development is taking so long and what about the future of the Downtown Investment Authority and its leader, Lori Boyer.
New Insider Deals are perfect for spring and summer– A new committee looking at the city agency that’s supposed to bring in development to downtown met for the first time Monday.
“I think what I have heard in setting up this committee is that there are a log of concerns in the community about the pace of downtown development. Now is that due to interest rates? Is that due to COVID? Is that due to the structure of our DIA and with Miss Boyer now working maybe a year or two with her new contract? If we are ever going to take a look at the DIA, now is the time,” Salem said.
She would not comment when we asked her if she feels she the city is trying to oust her from running the DIA.We asked Kevin Carrico, who is in charge of the committee, and he said that this is not a witch hunt against DIA or Boyer.
