Here's a message Mayor-elect Bill Knight sent along on Facebook:

Many thanks to each of your for your words of encouragement and support.

The November 3 election result was an emphatic yes to the need to restore forward thinking leadership in Greensboro's city government.

There is a renewed sense of pride and a "can do" spirit at work that we can capture and use as a springboard.

The new City Council is made up of an energetic group of individuals who have expressed a desire to quickly move forward and address the pressing issue of lagging economic growth. The business community is eager for a city government that will enthusiastically help it find solutions to complex regulations.

We have the good fortune of a new city manager who brings experience and innovation to city government. We are entering a win-win situation that can be exploited to build momentum for us all. Let's go forward together and not miss the opportunity.

Bill Knight
Mayor-elect
City of Greensboro, North Carolina
