Monday, Oct. 20 I was fortunate enough to be invited to a meeting at Mosaic Templars. There a group of individuals and organizations met to discuss the future of W. Ninth St – where we’re at, where we’re going, and where we’d like to go. It was wonderful to hear about all the great work Mosaic Templars does – Juneteenth in Da Rock, educational programing, and so, so much more. I saw many community leaders I knew with the Dunbar Neighborhood Assoc., city and state representatives – current and former, StudioMain, Downtown Little Rock Partnership, and other folks from local businesses in the corridor. And, of course, I met new people eager to see progress in this area.

These meetings will be happening quarterly to keep us connected and facilitate a range of place-making plans for this historic part of our city. So, make sure to keep in touch with us and all the aforementioned organizations to stay in the loop and learn how you can support the development of W. Ninth St.

It is incredibly inspiring to see people understand the significance of the history here, recognize the opportunity it presents us to connect with each other, and build something as great as what was or maybe something even greater!

Keep Dreaming, Matthew McCoy
