In 2017 the main artery in Columbus Wisconsin will be torn up. Will it rip the heart and soul out of the community? To steal a quote from Apollo 13 “With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour. Citizens we sleep in our bedrooms, we eat in our kitchens, we watch TV. But our living room is our community, it’s the intersection of other people, workers, sidewalks, parks, roads, schools and youth. Our living room is Columbus Wisconsin the PLACE.
When we improve the place we impact all, this is called place making.
Quick story I was summoned to a larger northern community I worked many years with to talk to the newly elected mayor. I asked him do you stand for reducing speeding in neighborhoods, better garbage collection, downtown/industry development, lowering taxes. He could not answer. I said we will work to improve the place, that is what you are elected to do. I will be your public servant, we will all work collectively to improve this place called Columbus Wisconsin that is why I’m running.
