Last night, The Peebles Corporation had the privilege of welcoming civic and business leaders to The Bath Club for a reception hosted by our Chairman and CEO, Don Peebles, in support of the Blue Cities/Red States coalition.
The evening brought together mayors from across the country, including Justin Bibb of Cleveland, Eileen Higgins of Miami, John Ewing Jr. of Omaha, Andrew Ginther of Columbus, Steven Reed of Montgomery, and Paul Young of Memphis, ahead of the coalition’s Miami launch roundtable.
Blue Cities/Red States is a mayor-led coalition representing more than 14 million Americans across 11 red and purple states, with a focus on practical solutions to challenges including housing affordability, economic opportunity, job creation, and neighborhood investment.
In his remarks, Don reflected on a lesson reinforced throughout his career developing in American cities: local leaders are often closest to the challenges affecting residents and are ultimately measured by their ability to deliver tangible results.
Despite representing different cities, regions, and political environments, the mayors gathered last night share a commitment to expanding housing opportunities, strengthening neighborhoods, and creating conditions in which families and businesses can thrive.
The Peebles Corporation was proud to host an evening centered on constructive dialogue, collaboration, and the role cities can play in advancing meaningful progress.
