I am so pleased with the ticket-buying support and the seamlessly organized event. I am looking forward to the economic impact this concert series will have on the surrounding businesses in Market Creek Plaza. At the end of the concert, I overheard Reginald Jones, President & CEO of the Jacobs saying: “We are revitalizing with Councilmember Myrtle Cole;” and I thought to myself: “Yes, we are!”

El Mensaje de Myrtle
Desarrollo Económico | Serie de conciertos en el Centro Jacobs Revitalizando la Comunidad con la ayuda de la Regidora Myrtle Cole Una de nuestras joyas distritales, el Centro de Innovación Comunitaria Jacobs lanzó la primer serie de conciertos de primer nivel, atrayendo a más de 600 espectadores al Distrito 4. La serie de conciertos inicio este 22 de Enero con la presentación del aclamado grupo de R&B, Mint Condition. Estoy muy contenta que este gran evento contó con mucho apoyo por parte de la comunidad. Espero que negocios en Market Creek Plaza pronto se beneficien de eventos como estos. Al final del concierto, el presidente del Centro Jacobs menciono: “Nos estamos revitalizando con la ayuda de la Regidora Myrtle Cole”, y pensé: “¡Si, lo estamos haciendo!” Felicidades a la comunidad de Oak Park Quiero agradecer a los vecinos de la comunidad de Oak Park por su extraordinaria labor comunitaria durante el día de celebración al legado del Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Nueve voluntarios salieron a limpiar cinco calles y a pintar las cercas. Este es el segundo año consecutivo que este grupo realiza esta labor comunitaria. ¡Muchas gracias a Larraine Marshall por organizar a este gran equipo de voluntarios!
