At Tuesday's board of alderman meeting city planner George Rummel gave a brief update on his work on the comprehensive plan for the city. It was at this meeting that the board requested a public workshop be held for the purposes of educating the public on the plan and changes made since when Shelly Johnstone was city planner. It is both an opportunity for citizens to learn about this plan and also to ask questions/provide commentary. Confirmation was made today for the time/location:
Greensboro Center
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005
6:00pm until 9:00pm
If there is any one meeting that you, my readership, attend this year, I would encourage it to be this one. Why? Once this plan is approved, and it will be soon, it will lay the foundation for the future growth of the city for the next 25 years. Although for some of you who are students who may not be in town much longer, you will have friends that will stay, along with possible younger brothers/sisters and maybe even one day children who will become residents of Starkville. Ask yourselves what you want to see for this city and then come to this workshop with those ideas in mind.
If you would like to read the current copy of the plan, it can be downloaded from the city's website:
