Minute with the Mayor is about creating connection, visibility, and community pride in Downtown Medford. Through short, authentic videos filmed on location, Mayor Michael Zarosinski is learning firsthand about the people, businesses, and experiences that make downtown unique. By talking with store owners, visitors, employees, and people walking the streets, these conversations help showcase the energy, challenges, and opportunities happening in real time.
The goal is to highlight the stories behind downtown businesses while helping the community see downtown through a more personal and positive lens. These videos create an approachable way for residents to hear directly from local voices, celebrate the entrepreneurs investing in downtown, and build stronger relationships between the city and the community.
Most importantly, Minute with the Mayor helps reinforce the idea that downtown matters. When people see leaders actively engaging, listening, and showing up, it helps rebuild confidence, encourage visitation, and strengthen community pride in the heart of Medford.
