Ask The Mayor: Frankfort's Chris McBarnes On A New Year, A New Term, And Ice Rinks

courtesy City of Frankfort

It’s the start of a new year in Frankfort, with new members of city council and some new hires in key city positions on the way. How does a mayor embarking on his own third term manage these transitions?

This week in our talk with Frankfort Mayor Chris McBarnes, we’ll get a progress report on the ongoing construction of Frankfort’s Prairie Creek Park. How do initiatives like Prairie Creek Park and—at the moment—a seasonal ice skating rink bring people downtown, and what are the year-round strategies to keep them there?

Plus, Frankfort takes a look at expanding street light coverage, and the return to business as usual for city recycling after a months-long hiatus.
