LOWELL — Bobby Tugbiyele moved to Lowell 10 years ago to secure a degree in political science and history at UMass Lowell and hasn’t left.
Instead, the 30-year-old Tugbiyele has become a community leader trying to bolster the city’s downtown.
He spends his days as a senior career adviser in the workforce-development division for Community Teamwork Inc., and in October was named the new president of the Center City Committee, Inc.
The Sun recently caught up with Tugbiyele to find out more about the Center City Committee, his goals for the group, his thoughts on the downtown and job market in the region.
Q: What does the Center City Committee do?
A: It is made up of a cross-section of anyone with a vested interest in downtown issues. There are a lot of issues that groups are dealing with on a daily basis, and there is a beauty of having other people who may not identify with those issues push the process and advocate for those issues. I’m not at the United Teen Equality Center or the Lowell Community Health Center during the day, but at our monthly meetings, I can hear about issues they are facing.
