A majority of the Town voters indicate that economic redevelopment should be attempted for the downtown. Tied closely to this effort, is the replacement of sidewalks and the beautification effort. I see this as all one effort based on the people that I've talked with. Some citizens might see the beautification as a separate issue.
There are a lot of other issues Chatham citizens want, but this is coming out to be a clear winner. A few citizens mentioning economic redevelopment as their number one concern stated that Chatham needs to take care of what it has before annexing Tightsqueeze or any other part of the County.
What are your thoughts?
I believe economic redevelopment and beautification should definitely take a priority. In order to keep people in our community, we need to have opportunities available. I also think that recycling is an issue that needs to be addressed. While curb pick-up is probably not an option, having containers available for drop-off (other than the newsprint and aluminum which are already available) would be welcome.
ReplyDeleteThere is a recycling theme from residents in Chatham. Your voice is not alone. It would be a good topic for council to investigate. Economic redevelopment, sidewalk repair and beautification are the leading themes. All three are closely tied together, too.
