Mayor William R. Wild visited the
White House Jan. 21 during his atten-
dance at the 84th winter meeting of the
U.S. Conference of Mayors. Wild joined
more than 250 mayors from across the
country at the conference last week.
President Barack Obama hosted the
bipartisan mayors at the White House to
thank them for their steadfast partner-
ships during the past seven years of his
administration and to outline America's
priorities for cities across the country in
the year ahead. The meeting also focused
on the economic progress that each city
hasmade since the president took office.
The mayors recently unveiled their
urban agenda - The 2016 Compact for a
Better America: A Call to action --which
calls on presidential candidates and
Congress to invest in and protect
America's cities andmetro areas.
The gathering convened at the Capital
Hilton inWashingtonD.C.
Wild met with Capitol Hill leaders and
administration officials during the week
and he was among the mayors urging
Congress to continue to work in a biparti-
san fashion to spur job creation and eco-
nomic growth in America's cities and met-
ropolitan areas.
“We have experienced many situations
in our state alone that are real examples
of why mayors should always be at the
table on a state-wide level and federal
level discussing issues and solving prob-
lems,” said Wild. “The Flint water crisis
being the most relevant reason to date. In
general, problems are solved at the city
level andmeetings with the president and
other leaders on the federal level are
imperative, if wewant to keepmoving in a
positive direction.”
Some other topics of discussion includ-
ed: criminal justice reform and communi-
ty policing, advanced manufacturing and
tech innovation, trans-pacific partnership,
education, veterans homelessness and
transportation and infrastructure.
existing trees along with some decorative
fencing. The additional land could be used
for expansion of the Ciena project in the
future.
“We heard the concerns at the last meet-
ing. We appreciated the concerns,” said
John Gaber, attorney for Ciena Healthcare.
“The land is part of our development - it
locks it in, so that the condominiumowners
know exactly what they will be getting,”
Gaber said.
Carolon residents who attended the
meeting were in agreement with the new
plans and applauded the decision of the
city councilmembers.
“It's a huge win/win for everyone
involved,” Council President James
Godbout said.
