Raoul Valentin

General

• Chairman of the Old Town Renewal Committee
• An Academy educated sociologist

• Many believe his stance of approaching Old Town Revitalization may be just the thing.
• Past efforts involved engineers and architects; people who did not have an appreciation for the human motive.

• His first significant effort has been to invest money into The Lighting of the Way holiday ceremonies.
• In counter to his efforts, Valentin has been accused of re-packaging old traditions, not actually doing anything new.
