Last night hundreds of friends helped us celebrate 20 years of helping to make Downtown Wilmington the place for businesses, residents, students, and visitors to live, work, and play.

We enjoyed great food and music at World Café Live at the Queen and heard from people who have had a vision for Downtown Wilmington for decades and who are thrilled to see that vision become a reality.

I am particularly thrilled with the outpouring of support by so many people who make this community so great – from entrepreneurs to artists to business leaders to law enforcement to elected officials. It really is a matter of bringing all of us together to make everything work.

We were also happy to show the premier of this video:

Twenty years is a significant milestone – I can’t wait to see what the next 20 years have for us!
