Welcome to CityView Today! First, it was Mayor Mitch Colvin and his State of the City on March 10. On Tuesday, Kirk deViere—chair of the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners—took his turn, delivering a State of the County Address. Both were speeches filled with accomplishments and promises, and both delivered optimistic views on the future of Fayetteville and the county. Dig into the details of deViere’s Vision 2030.
Also in today’s newsletter: Rachel Heimann Mercader spent a few hours at Fort Bragg on Wednesday talking with military spouses for her look at a program that helps them build careers that can survive the constant churn of military life.
Thanks for reading,
