   I have learned that my friend Satyendra Huja has recently passed. He served for many years as the head planner for #cville and then later two terms as Mayor. I have been grateful for his friendship these many years and often find myself inspired by his many years of service and insistence on “thinking outside the box”. Miss you Satyendra. https://www.cvillepedia.org/Satyendra_Huja

     “he was a strong advocate for the Downtown Mall, as well as revitalizations of Court Square, the Corner, and Starr Hill. He served on City Council beginning in 2008 and became the first Indian Sikh mayor of an American city in 2012 and served until 2016” #urbanism #Cville #Sikh
