City staff announced the Brewbox ribbon cutting on Feb. 12 with Mayor McDermott, the city's Black History Month celebration on Feb. 5 at the Civic Center, and a staff tour of a newly listed house at 244 Condit St. on Feb. 11.

City staff used the commission meeting to highlight several upcoming local events and to update the commission on property bid activity.

Ann Taylor said staff is reviewing proposals for several city-owned parcels and will meet with submitters. She announced that Brewbox, a new coffee shop in the bank building in Downtown Hammond, will hold its ribbon cutting on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 1 p.m., with Mayor McDermott scheduled to join the new owners. "Mayor McDermott will be there to cut the ribbon with the new owners," Taylor said.

Taylor also reminded the commission that the city's annual Black History Month celebration would be held Thursday, Feb. 5 at 10 a.m. at the Civic Center and that planning and development staff will tour a recently completed residential listing at 244 Condit St. on Wednesday, Feb. 11 at 3 p.m. She said anyone with questions should contact Juan Moreno in economic development.

Staff reported no responses were received for requests for proposals on several properties, so no further action was taken on those RFPs at the meeting.
