HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM JAY: As we enter the holiday season and move closer to 2023, I am so thankful for our dedicated readers of our monthly publication and our daily newsletter as well as those who visit communityimpact.com for our daily news in your neighborhood. We have truly adopted a “phygital” (physical meets digital) approach to delivering our readers news that matters in a hyperlocal, unbiased way daily online and through our monthly publication delivered to your mailbox. I also am thankful to our advertisers who trust and support our efforts to deliver their message to you as well on our platforms. Lastly but certainly not the least, I am thankful to my local team and the Community Impact family. It is truly a team effort in every way, shape and form across all of our markets throughout Texas. We hope you, our readers, continue to trust us as your source for news in your community. Our front-page story this month takes a look at the upcoming renovations to one of the first shopping centers in the Bellaire area, the Bellaire Triangle. A multiphase renovation plan set to begin before the end of the year, the new design will bring back elements that will reintroduce some of the 1950s-style architecture initially laid out by property owner MC Management and Development as well as a reconfiguration to the open-air arcade walkway.

MORE LOCAL TALENT: We created several new editorial positions to focus on our local content niche, including additional reporters for the newspaper and more multiplatform journalists for our daily newsletter and website.
NEW LEADERSHIP: We hired a new Chief Financial Officer, Kelly Outlaw, who joined us from Habitat for Humanity. Her favorite saying is "I add faith and humanity to the spreadsheet." You can trust that every dollar you give, along with our advertiser support, is reinvested with integrity and a people-first approach.
ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS: We launched podcasts in our Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metros with host Olivia Aldridge and created an additional digital offering for our advertisers called CI Storytelling.
