I held off meeting the citizens of Chatham until after Labor Day, which kicks off the traditional time to campaign for those of us living in Chatham.
What have I learned so far? A number of residents are interested in the Town’s beautification efforts. While I’m behind beautification, I think it will eventually be lipstick on a larger problem. Chatham’s small business district will still need viable businesses in the mostly empty storefronts.
Ownership of the Town’s sidewalks, not currently claimed by the Town, will have to be claimed if beautification is to move forward. Otherwise, any downtown transformation won’t happen.
Other topics include afternoon activities for kids and recycling. Recycling was a surprise, since the people that I spoke with were very interested in a better option that what the County currently provides.
