Recovery, Resilience, and Momentum (Part 2 of December flooding)

from KentNow · host City of Kent

We’re still riding high after the Seahawks’ Super Bowl win, and here in Kent, there’s plenty happening across our city. This week on KentNow, we’re talking about recovery. Following the recent flooding, we sit down with Long Range Planning Manager Kristen Holdsworth and Economic and Community Development Deputy Director Matt Gilbert to discuss what recovery really looks like, from supporting residents and businesses, to working with regional partners, and helping people navigate available assistance. We’ll also remind you about the Mayor’s State of the City address on Thursday, March 19 at the Kent East Hill Operations Center. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the program beginning at 7:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity to hear directly about Kent’s progress and priorities. And don’t miss upcoming events, including the Spotlight Series presentation of Women of Americana on February 27 at the Kent-Meridian Performing Arts Center, celebrating the rich legacy of American music.
