Video: Former Bloomington Mayor John Fernandez Helps Launch “Amplify Bloomington” at The Mill

Former Bloomington Mayor John Fernandez spoke during a reception at The Mill marking the launch of Amplify Bloomington—a rebrand and expansion from Dimension Mill into a broader civic alliance for economic development. In his remarks, Fernandez reflected on Bloomington’s startup journey, argued that “success creates responsibility,” and outlined a three-part focus: supporting startups to scale, attracting businesses tied to IU talent and research, and strengthening “place” so people want to live and work here. — Wednesday, February 4th
