Geo. Kolbenschlag: Planning for Downtown needs diverse ideas 'There needs to be some new, creative approaches and some new ideas,' he says. He suggests membership not be limited to familiar names. Leader needs to be good moderator, concensus builder - someone not afraid to share load . . . and a group which would draw heavily from some of the talent at Lindsey Wilson. Comments re article 76648 Billy Joe Fudge A plan for Downtown Columbia KY By George Kolbenschlag I know Billy Joe Fudge is aware his appeal for the community to come together with some new and creative ideas to revitalize downtown Columbia is not a new idea. But he is right about the need to stop talking about it and start acting. He's also right about the need to get the through traffic off the square. We can make all sorts of excuses why that can not be done, but surely there are ways to make it happen and examples of other communities where it is happening. I would hope appointments to any planning organization would be carefully considered and not just made up of familiar names. There needs to be some new, creative approaches and some new ideas. That group should be a diverse collection of folks who can offer diverse ideas. The leader should be someone who is a good moderator, a consensus builder and who is not afraid to share the load and defer to others. I would also suggest that in addition to the people/organizations Mr. Fudge suggested make up a planning group, we lean on some of the talent at Lindsey Wilson. But none of this can happen without enthusiastic involvement and cooperation of local leadership. Therein is the key. - George Kolbenschlag This story was posted on 2015-07-26 04:30:28
