AIKEN –KRISTAL SUGGS– FELICIA SOLOMON – ANTONIO HARDY COUNCIL MEMBERS: ROBERT SWINSON – SAMMY C. AIKEN –KRISTAL SUGGS– FELICIA SOLOMON – ANTONIO HARDY February 15, 2021 Dear City Council, Please allow me to update you on Pride of Kinston as we start 2021. During 2020, Pride of Kinston was unable to host any of its usual cultural or fundraising events due to COVID. However, we do not let such things deter us from our mission and vision, nor do we crash during a little turbulence. Regardless of pandemic restrictions, promoting downtown businesses remained a priority. We kept our billboard and social media active and fresh as well as maintained contact with merchants to support and promote their adjustments to surviving the pandemic; i.e., Mother Earth’s and Social House Vodka’s hand sanitizer production, restaurants’ curb service and home deliveries, online boutique sales coaching, and certain non-downtown businesses that were helping to keep people safe such a ServPro’s disinfecting services and ALSCO’s masks and hand sanitizer stations. We also maintained contact with City Staff and our support network at North Carolina Main Street in the Department of Commerce and our other Main Street communities throughout the state through telephone and email. The Pride team also continued to plan its usually scheduled events around the Governor’s Executive Orders just in case we could proceed with them. Interest in downtown Kinston did not subside during COVID. Pride of Kinston continued to assist parties interested in investing downtown whether it was buying a building, opening a new business, or façade grant applications, as well as meeting with developers,
