Hi all. I've become a member of our Community Development Authority in a small rural town of 5000. in Wisconsin. Currently the town is called "tired" by outsiders but I see a real beginning of hope if we can get the train moving in the right direction.
as with many towns we are 50%, let's keep it the old way and the other half that see real hope. 90% of our downtown is historic buildings which many think are just old buildings but they are in great shape.
Many business owners seem to believe "surviving" is good enough because thriving would men more work for them. Get what I'm saying?
Our main goal right now is that we have a major highway reconstruction that will go through town in a few years so we have a chance to upgrade the downtown sidewalks and streets.
Overall I am very optimistic (which is something of a change from what I gather).
BUT - how does one go about getting that "tired" label off . . . and what does it actually mean.
