In a long-winded two-page press release
issued this morning, Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero says the city
has been selected as a finalist for the Bloomberg Philanthropies'
Mayors Challenge, which is a competition created to inspire cities to
generate innovative ideas that solve major challenges and improve
city life – and that ultimately can be shared with cities across
the nation.
Whew. Whatever. But, hey, when you pay
that city communication's department a gazillion dollars (which is
still half a gazillion less than what the school system's spin team
earns) to write these releases, then they better make those suckers
long.
Anyhoo, Knoxville was one of 20
finalists picked due to its “innovative idea to create an urban
food corridor.” The idea, according to the release, was selected
after input from residents and a committee to create a unique
business model that encompasses the entire urban food cycle by
connecting land, farming jobs, processing facilities, food transit,
sale and composting.
OK, I got no idea what's going on here.
Sounds like some hippie stuff. Click right smack here for the
release.
