The last couple of months have been challenging - physically, emotionally and mentally. Small moments of normalcy like celebrating Halloween are strange and welcome - at the same time. Last night, the Innovation District participated in USF's Halloween Fest with our Mad Scientist booth. It was so much fun to see the kids dressed up, and the USF and City decorated vehicles/tents.
Just before the storms we held our first focus group for the District Master Plan. We are working now to reschedule the sessions that had to be moved. The new schedule will be published on our website by early next week. In the meantime, we continue to collect ideas via our online tool (click here).
We are also had to reschedule our breakfast on Future Air Mobility and have set a date for our next workshop on Ocean-Ready Climate Resiliency.
I hope you enjoy your treat (or trick) tonight. Happy Halloween!
