What they’re saying

“This city needs a vision for the future and assets to attract people and grow the city. One thing that would help is the development of the North Main Street area of the city. This area is stagnant, and it needs to become more vibrant with opportunity. The public should have input, and it would be nice to see ideas from developers.”

“Address long-term solutions for homelessness, like transitional housing, affordable apartments and supporting domestic violence victims to reduce related crimes.”
