Today’s #MayorsDeskMonday feature is City of Birmingham, Alabama, Mayor Randall Woodfin (City of Birmingham Mayor's Office ), the city’s youngest leader in 120 years. In spring 2022, Mayor Woodfin spoke with Anthony Flint about setting up a unified command center for Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the American Rescue Plan Act funds, the city’s participation in a guaranteed-income pilot program for single mothers, and his vision for neighborhood revitalization. “We have to pave more streets,” he said. “We have to have adequate playground equipment. We have to partner with our power company to get more LED lights in that neighborhood, so people feel safe. We have to invest in healthy food options so our citizens can have a better quality of life. These are the things related to neighborhood revitalization that I frame and address to make sure people want to live in these places.” #MayorsDeskMonday is a series spotlighting the mayors featured in Anthony Flint’s recent book “Mayor’s Desk: 20 Conversations with Local Leaders Solving Global Problems.” Learn more about “Mayor’s Desk”: https://lnkd.in/et7kzed3 Buy the book: https://lnkd.in/eJwAE2RT
