An interview with a night mayor

I’ve been following the concept of “Night Mayors” for a couple of years now. I’m a consumer of all things urbanism (well, not all things - traffic engineering and zoning makes me shrivel up and die of boredom) and the idea of cities addressing the unique needs of their nighttime economies really perks my ears up.

Dominique Greco was hired as the City of Orlando’s Nighttime Economy Manager in July 2017 and has been making some real strides in our downtown since starting. I had the chance to sit with her for a bonus episode of “Bungalower and The Bus” and grill her about her past projects and what she has planned.

Dominique Greco was hired as the City of Orlando’s first-ever Nighttime Economy Manager in July 2017; a position that oversees the growing needs of Orlando’s Downtown nightlife scene. Greco came to the job following eight years as the Project Director for V Group Concepts, a company that owns and operates multiple entertainment venues in Downtown Orlando, including Oakroom, Vyce, Gitto’s Pizza, and Hanson’s Shoe Repair. She’s also a UCF grad. Find out all about this innovative new position at the City and what Greco has managed to accomplish in a relatively short time at City Hall.
