On this episode of The Conference Call, Damian brings on a few of Columbia’s most involved residents to talk about everything their community has to offer.  We are joined by Phillip Dodge of the Downtown Columbia Partnership, Ian Kennedy of the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission, and Alyse Carter of the Columbia Town Center Community Association as they encourage greater community connectivity, discuss ways to improve Columbia’s civic engagement and promote the downtown’s vibrant amenities.  Tune in for a glimpse into a better Columbia for all its residents. 

As we reach the end of the Center Maryland #DaysBetween, Damian sits down with Jim Anderson, a former Enterprise real estate executive with first-hand experience with James Rouse and the Columbia project, as well as many other notable developments nationwide. The two share their experiences with the Rouse ideology and tease apart what made him as influential and ahead of his time as he was.

We hope to see you soon in the Lobby
