Mayor Rice Updates Fulton Noon Rotary
Fulton Mayor Jim Rice recently spoke to the Fulton Noon Rotary Club about a number of projects happening across the city.
One example is the former CYO building on the east side of the city, next to Pizza Hut. “We can’t do anything to that building without having an LWRP [Local Waterfront Revitalization Program] in place.” His administration has been busy doing just that, and
now the program is up and running.
Mayor Rice passed out multi-page pamphlets outlining an ambitious, imaginative town center project at the former Nestle site. The site’s Building 30 is nearing readiness to be torn down after a lengthy remediation and environmental review process. “Cogs are moving, not sitting idle,” Rice reassured the Rotarians. In the pipeline for the site are many plans for mixed-use spaces, including a business-class hotel, a mixed-income apartment building, retail space, and a new public park aimed at improving the city’s walkability and recreational opportunities. His administration has also been proactive in researching and applying for grants to help address gaps in its funding. A major theme in the mayor’s presentation was the importance of collaboration among key stakeholders and service clubs in Fulton. Rice also mentioned that Fulton is working on being more vocal and speaking up on vital opportunities, such as those related to Micron. “We don’t want to be missed.”
The club also acknowledged two students from the School’s HOPE (Helping Other People Everywhere) club. Armando Vossler, President and Jocelyn Taylor, Vice President from the club
gave a brief summary on what the HOPE club does and how they work jointly with Rotary on certain projects.
Fulton Noon Rotary Club meets at 12:00pm on the first three Thursdays of the month at
the Tavern on the Lock in Fulton.
