Regardless of whether one agrees with the Revitalization Plan or not; this award is a deserved "pat on the back" to the members of the Community who put in countless hours while volunteering for the Downtown Revitalization Committee.
I agree with you 100% that the carefully selected volunteers of the revitalization committee deserve a pat on the back, if for no other reason than having had to endure a process with a pre-determined conclusion.
Further, in the interests of saving taxpayers money; would it not be cheaper to rent/use a tractor mower to clean up the mup ditch? I suspect that a $30/hr employee + expenses weed-whacking is considerably more expensive per mile.

I would be so proud of our town if we got an award for something real/useful. Imagine an award for a working sewer/water/treatment plant.
ReplyDeleteInstead we get an a self serving award from a group of consultants called "city spaces" or some such nonsense.
I guess, however, it's better than being poked in the eye with a stick.
How about an award for best looking firehall ?? Funny to hear the mayor singing praises of the previous council
