Mayor Sayegh shared his vision for the future of the City, with the Great Falls as the anchor for economic development. The Mayor shared the City’s new tagline: “Great Falls. Great Food. Great Future.” He also had an opportunity to speak with students one-on-one during a luncheon at the campus. Mayor Sayegh asked students about their majors and what they planned to do with their futures. “Be sure to cultivate your contacts and when you come to Paterson, stay in Paterson,” Mayor Sayegh told students.
