SALISBURY – Salisbury City Council President Jake Day reflected this week on a busy 2013, when he was not only elected but became a part of what his campaign was mostly about — bringing life to downtown.
Day said his highlight in 2013 was being elected to the council in April immediately followed by being voted to be council president as a newcomer.
Another highlight for Day in 2013 was being part of a number of initiatives to redevelop downtown. Day listed 11 restaurants were redeveloped in the downtown out of four older buildings, five partnerships with state agencies were announced to redevelop the downtown, free WiFi was installed in the downtown, the opening of the Orange Route bike lane between Salisbury University and the Downtown Plaza and the success of the Third Friday event every month in the Downtown Plaza.

It's good to see all the positive activity downtown.
"Day listed 11 restaurants were redeveloped in the downtown " 11 restaurants?? Did I mess half of those?
10:02, that's a weirdly written part of the article. I can't think of 11 restaurants total downtown, let alone 11 new ones. Surely that's a typo?
Typo my butt. I'll add, Day taking credit for 3rd Friday. What a smack in the face that is to the dedicated group who planned and marketed this event from the beginning. They'll be the first to tell you the City and Mayor had NOTHING to do with the event, yet the City hijacked it publicly.
Jake where is the skateboard park you promised us?
Amazing stuff from just walking around. No telling what he could accomplish if he was licensed to drive. I'm sure next year he'll 'bury the competition.
LOL-1:14.
12:37 Just what this town needs, to further push it down the $hi**er.
Who's been driving him to work?
