Mayor Ireton To Attend Downtown Urban Salisbury Celebration

Urban Salisbury and Mayor James Ireton, Jr., will be attending the William J. Ahtes Downtown Salisbury Achievement Award Dinner tomorrow, Friday, June 11, 2010 at the Holiday Inn at 6:00 p.m.

Bruce Patterson, President of Urban Salisbury said, "The Mayor and the City Staff have always been so generous and supportive of Urban Salisbury.  It's really wonderful to have them join us at the first annual Ahtes Award Dinner."
 
"Urban Salisbury created this award to recognize dedication and commitment to the revitalization of the heart of our community.  It's especially fitting that the first Award goes to Bill Ahtes."
 
"For over 40 years, Bill has been and is still devoted to the Downtown.  He has invested boundless enthusiasm, countless hours and tens of thousands of dollars in and around Main Street."
 
"Along the way, he's made so many friends and improved the lives of generations of Salisburians.  For all he has done, and continues to do, Bill's the rightful recipient of the first Award named in his honor."
 
"We're thrilled with the commitment of the Mayor and our Friends from the City.  We know everyone who attends the Dinner is going to have a wonderful time."

Mayor Ireton said, “I look forward to this evening as we celebrate the past, present, and future of our downtown in honoring Bill Ahtes. My goal is that a new generation of young people will live, work and play downtown. The City of Salisbury celebrates Urban Salisbury and downtown pioneer, Bill Ahtes Friday night.”
