It was a pleasure working with Doug when I was on the Town of Cary's Greenway Advisory Committee from 2007 to 2012. He came to meetings prepared with the info we needed to discuss upcoming projects, and he listened to everyone on the committee and considered their points of view. Doug also effectively guided us through the process of deciding which projects to prioritize for funding based on his work experience and knowledge of how projects and their funding worked, and he made recommendations that set up future projects for the best possible chance of being completed.
