Racine is North America’s Newest Smart City! What It Means for Rotarians & Southeastern Wisconsin - Racine Mayor Cory Mason
Racine has joined the ranks of such well-known metro areas as Austin, Edmunton, Idianapolis, Las Vegas, Miami, and Philadelphia by earning its designation as a North American Smart City. Mayor Cory Mason described how "Inventtion City" defied the odds to become the first in Wisconsin and the smallest city in North America ever to be awarded that designation. He also discussed what a Smart City is; the exciting vision the City of Racine has to capitalize on its designation; and how Rotarians and Southeastern Wisconsin can be a part of this incredible opportunity as the other "Great City on a Great Lake" advances equity, sustainability, workability, and economic growth by leveraging technology.
