If you have an interest in seeing downtown Warsaw evolve, Wednesday might be your best chance to offer some thoughts.
That’s when Main Street Warsaw will host a meeting at The Vic, 110 N. Buffalo St., Warsaw.
The downtown is on the verge of significant changes — a parking garage has been proposed, construction of an apartment complex is looming on the site of the old Owens grocery property and there is talk of a convention center or entertainment venue.
Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Rob Parker said with so much on the horizon that it’s a good time to come forward with opinions and ideas.
“Parking will be part of the discussion, some sort of event center is going to be part of the discussion … how do we bring these assets?” Parker said.
He said they want to hear from a cross-section of the community.
Everyone, he said, is a stakeholder.
“If you work downtown, if you own a business downtown, if you like to come downtown to eat, if you’d like to come downtown to eat but don’t because of parking, or some other reason, yeah, you’re a stakeholder in my opinion. I want to hear from everybody who interacts with the downtown,” Parker said.
