For the past century, the Bank of Italy building has been an iconic landmark of our city’s skyline. But it’s also a building that has seen better times. That’s why I am excited to see Westbank stepping up to breathe new life into this landmark building, creating 109 new homes in the process. (1/2)

We talked to business owners who said they had all time sale records during the Super Bowl. We want to build on that and keep giving folks reasons to come downtown. That means improving on late night safety during special events — and beyond. It’s not just visitors that deserve a safe downtown.
