🧾 FOIA Email of the Day:
From City Administrator Milton Dohoney to Odis Jones (CEO, Cobblestone) and Chris Schroeder (CEO, Sports Illustrated Resorts) on 9/28/23 @ 3:35 PM:
“There has been a lot of reaction/attention to the initial announcement. Local press here is initially positive. Given the vast importance of transparency, and it’s impact on influencing narratives about what’s going on I am suggesting that you consider another release within a week or so. I would consider doing a release that’s focused on the project team from your end. I would have a photo of the two of you pointing out your local ties Chris, and a blurb about Cobblestone. I would further suggest a photo of Chris and his representation of the Cherokee nation. In addition, if Lina is going to be the project architect lead I’d show her photo too pointing out her Ann Arbor roots. That kind of release moves a focus from big building only, to providing a glimpse into who is proposing to do the project.”
