I have a great time every time I talk with Bitsy and Anne from Midtown, Inc. As a member of the Midtown Business Association and being located in Midtown, we are always doing what we can to help communicate the attributes and potential of this historic and diverse part of Columbus, Georgia. This is also the first time we had two people join me for a Sit and Talk. Maybe we should do this more often!
In the podcast, Anne King, Midtown, Inc.’s current Executive Director, gave us so much information about the Midtown organization and its mission. The MidTown Project’s ’25 Year Plan’ laid out a framework for community and business growth and redevelopment. One of MidTown, Inc.’s current projectsis the Wynnton Streetscape Enhancement. If you’ve been down Wynnton Road lately, you can see its beginning at the intersection of Brown and Peacock Avenues.When it is finished in 2015, it will have a great impact at the heart of Columbus.
Following the history and story of Midtown, Bitsy Dedwylder, the MidTown Business Association Coordinator gave us the skinny on MidTown business development The MidTown Business Association creates a wonderful atmosphere for joint marketing and economic development. When you join the MBA, you join a community of like-minded business owners.
During this podcast it was clear thatthese two ladies have a passion for MidTown and are out there to help the community grow and prosper. Check out my time with them as we discuss everything from growing a business in a diverse environment, to marketing a distinctive place and living in Columbus.
I love talking. I just wish I was better at it. As an entrepreneur, I dig anything related to community building. This includes online branding, web design and development, social media and analytics. I have a passion for family, blogging, music and consuming high levels of knowledge… Chat me up!
