Calling all foodies and anyone else who needs to eat this week.
There's still plenty of time to "chow down in Flinttown" at the second-annual Flint Restaurant Week, going on now through May 20.
Nineteen restaurants are on this year's menu, offering an assortment of fare to whet your appetite. The food showcase picked up several new establishments as well as some outside the downtown core, including: including Krystal Jo's Diner on Fenton Road, Timothy's Pub on Robert T. Longway Blvd., Totem Books on Court Street, and The Palette Café inside the Flint Institute of Arts.
Marketing Flint's Strengths & Assets to New Audiences
One of the ways that our staff is working to change perception of Flint & Genesee, as well as bring in new business investment, is to invite "influencers" to the region. When I say "influencers," I'm referring to top business decision-makers, opinion-shapers or individuals of a certain celebrity status.
Last week, we hosted select Michigan developers, architects and contractors at the Flint & Genesee Chamber's first Developers Conference. The purpose of the conference was to allow these influencers to experience, firsthand, some of the revitalization and economic progress that is shaping the city into a vibrant urban center; and, importantly, market some of the available properties that are prime for development.
