Vista Growth

Working closely with UGA Dean Anna Stenport on Innovation Initiatives prompted me to seek the advice from the godfather

I find that whatever the topic, Sig has incisive, super relevant, practical advice. He’s a gift to our community. Thank you.

We all enjoyed sharing a glass together. Also with good friend and fellow Board member Jim Beveridge.

Let’s make it happen.

Seven years ago: we attended an Oscars watch party at FSU Film in Tallahassee. What a surprise ending to see Barry Jenkins (an FSU grad) win BEST PICTURE after a major snafu. Does anyone recall that night?

I was honored to share my perspective on placemaking and placebranding at the Metro Atlanta Future Summit in Douglasville last week. In my mind, there are “Seven Deadly Sins of Community Design” and I shared these vices with a remedy virtue. With the rapid growth of our region, it’s imperative we do a better job in designing communities that people love.

My friend, Chris Pumphrey, CEO of Elevate Douglas, is a great collaborator and fire starter in this work. Thanks for the invite. And an honor to be in the trenches with you fighting the good fight.
