City Seeks Residents' Opinions

July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.

By TERESA SMITH, Times-Union Staff Writer-

A town meeting is scheduled Tuesday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. regarding the future of downtown Warsaw.

Citizens are asked to discuss the city's image and goods and services it provides, if the business and government are to work together during the next five years.

The meeting will follow a day-long series of scheduled interviews held by consultants Doyle Hyett and Doloris Palma of HyettPalma Inc., Virginia.

The company is a national firm specializing in the economic renaissance of downtowns and older business districts.

The Warsaw City Council will meet in special session following the town meeting from 8:30 to 9 p.m. to gather information and discuss the future of the city's downtown.

Current downtown projects and programs also will be discussed.

In September Kosciusko County residents were asked general questions about downtown Warsaw through a telephone questionnaire.

The company is sponsored by the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns. It is the association's stance that communities cannot continue to "drift aimlessly" without a plan and expect to compete for a portion of the more than $3 trillion in annual retail businesses.

The company's fee for the five-year market-driven summary is $30,150. IACT paid for half of the fee and the city paid the other half. [[In-content Ad]]
