His district is in the midst of revitalization, which includes streetscaping projects along North Main Street as well as new business development at the North Main Plaza.

Davis also spearheaded the Belmont Residential Initiative; a project which is the result of a partnership between the City of Columbia, the Eau Claire Development Corporation and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.  Funds were obtained for a single-family home reconstruction project to provide over twenty five houses for very low and moderate income families.

The North Columbia Master Plan is another venture that Davis is overseeing in District I.  A significant catalyst project is the result of a partnership between the City of Columbia, Eau Claire Development Corporation and Columbia College.  The Lofts at College Place, a development project located off of North Main Street and Columbia College Drive, is a commercial retail development targeted towards students in the area.
