RICHMOND, Va. — In his first 13 days as Richmond’s chief administrative officer, Odie Donald II says he’s been listening to residents’ concerns for their city.
At a Monday press conference, Donald said he has talked with Richmonders at parks, a community meeting, a restaurant, a barber shop and a convenience store.
“I was at Mama J’s the other day, and a couple of people there told me about all the great things that they think about the city, as well as some of the challenges they have,” Donald said. “So, right now, I’m just on a full-blown listening tour and as I get to understand more about what people really desire from the city and what they’re getting, I’ll really be able to help contribute a lot more.”…
