Reed said Montgomery will expand its Stop the Violence campaign and increase investment in community violence intervention (CVI) strategies, citing Baltimore's CVI results as a model and recommending educational experiences such as visits to the Legacy Museum to change perspectives among young people.

\"We're getting to the streets before the streets get to them,\" Reed said, describing the goal of community violence intervention and outreach teams. He said city and county officials have put \"millions of dollars\" into the office of violence prevention and the CVI effort and that Montgomery will seek training and guidance from cities that have recorded reductions in violent crime.

Reed mentioned Baltimore, saying the city saw a reported 28% reduction following a prior 26% reduction in violent crime after CVI implementation. He described plans to expand the Stop the Violence group, \"tweak\" it for better outcomes and bring in practitioners who have achieved impact in other places. Reed also cited a 30% pay increase for police officers over the last four years as part of broader public‑safety work and named Lawrence Battiste as a special adviser for public safety.

During the podcast Reed and the host discussed offering scholarships or paid travel for young people to visit the Legacy Museum and its sculptural garden to provide historical context and broaden life perspectives. Reed encouraged community involvement and said city and county efforts cannot solve violence alone. \"If you wanna be a part of the solution, be a part of your community,\" he said.

No specific line‑item budget figures or binding program contracts were announced on the episode. Reed described ongoing discussions, planned training, and coordination with the county and outside practitioners rather than codified actions taken during the recording.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","The Mayor's Take Episode 7","oneSentenceSummary","Mayor Steven L.

Reed said his recent trip to Detroit included meetings with mayors and industry leaders about strengthening minority supplier networks so Montgomery businesses can capture more of the economic opportunity around major automotive investment.

Reed said Detroit's legacy of automotive manufacturing and supplier development offers models Montgomery can adapt, and he described conversations on scaling minority‑owned companies that serve large manufacturers. \"When you think about Motown ... we can learn from where Detroit was and what Detroit has been doing over the last 15 years,\" Reed said.

Reed spoke about being on a panel with other Southern mayors, including New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, to discuss regional approaches to economic growth and supplier inclusion. He noted the city's work with Hyundai and said Montgomery must expand its minority supplier network to capture more value from large employers and bring more job‑creating contracts to local entrepreneurs.

Reed described interest from people with ties to Alabama who want to return to Montgomery to form partnerships, mentor entrepreneurs and help scale businesses. He framed the approach as building capacity — \"teaching us how to fish\" — and said the city is pursuing knowledge exchange and relationship building rather than one‑time donations.

No formal commitments, contracts or specific local funding allocations were announced on the podcast. Reed said the trip produced leads and conversations aimed at creating long‑term supplier relationships and workforce development partnerships that could benefit West, North and central Montgomery neighborhoods.","Mayor Steven L.

Reed said on the final episode of Season 1 of his podcast \"Mayor's Take\" that public engagement and travel are central tools for explaining city actions and attracting investment, and he announced plans for Season 2 of on‑location episodes.

Reed said the formal duties set out in Act 6‑18 for Montgomery's mayor include ensuring basic city services, balancing the budget and keeping the city safe, but that his role as chief executive also requires promoting the city and building partnerships. \"I think, for a lot of people, if you only see the formal side of what we do, you don't see the informal, and things that really go into making up our achievements,\" Reed said.

Reed framed the podcast as one way to give residents more background on how the administration operates and why officials make particular choices. He described staying reachable by phone and text and said he travels to promote Montgomery to potential partners and investors. Reed said he plans Season 2 to include episodes recorded at local institutions such as Auburn University at Montgomery, Alabama State University and other community locations, and invited listeners to suggest places to record.

The mayor noted the tension between day‑to‑day operational duties and the promotional role he performs. \"As a chief executive officer, you can't get too far into things and still keep your vision in terms of where you're supposed to be going,\" Reed said, referencing the 1975 law that established Montgomery's mayor–council government. He described maintaining contact with city staff while also meeting leaders and potential investors outside Montgomery to bring jobs and partnerships to the city.

Reed also mentioned that outreach has included attending panels with other Southern mayors and that the podcast format allows more conversational exchanges than standard press briefings. He closed by thanking listeners and staff, and by urging viewers to post suggestions for audiobooks and streaming shows for summer travel.

Season 2 of \"Mayor's Take\" will feature on‑location recordings aimed at highlighting different neighborhoods and institutions across Montgomery. Reed said the show will continue to be used to explain administration initiatives and to solicit community feedback.","In the final episode of Season 1 of his podcast 'Mayor's Take,' Montgomery Mayor Steven L. Reed described how outreach, travel and public engagement fit into his duties under Act 6‑18, and announced plans for Season 2 on location across the city and at local universities.","actionData","errors"]
