Inquiring minds want to know how Campbellsville did it? Maury Lewis writes: These towns are beautiful and Columbia needs to improve, but one has to ask: Where did the money come from to pay for these improvements? Did the owners of the buildings do anything to help improve the way it looks, or did the city foot the bill for everything? Who paid for the alleys to be improved? They are beautiful. Was some of it donated by a business or several businesses? Was all the work done by contract labor or did the city employees do the work? Inquiring minds want to know. - Maury LewisComments re article 62031 Greensburg Campbellsville have made remarkable progress 2013-09-19 13:29:00 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Campbellsville: Mayor Young has more progress set to happen Campbellsville's Action Mayor updates community in radio interview about progress underway all over town By Larry Smith, FM 99.9 the Big Dawg Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young was on the air with me yesterday and announced even more improvements for Campbellsville. Next to get a Main Street makeover will be West Main Street, which will address the fence around Brookside Cemetery, one of the most beautiful, already, anywhere. Everyone interested in healthy living and pedestrian safety is thrilled with the relatively low cost changes Mayor Young made on Main Street in the shopping area. Mayor Young announced an even more ambitious sidewalk project, with a sidewalk system all the way from Main Street to Miller Park. A new segment, from Howell Street on N. Central Avenue will extend north to the Park. In August, Mayor Miller told of changes coming at the former Taylor County Library, which will be made into a Civic Center, and will include a Council Meeting Room. Campbellsville was a wonderful city before Mayor Young put improvements in high gear.

Greensburg, Campbellsville have made remarkable progress Greensburg a downtown delight; Campbellsville moving in right direction By Jon Halsey Had occasion today to travel thru Greensburg by way of Campbellsville, Wednesday, and I am in complete agreement with Vonnie (Kolbenschlag) and Doug (Beard). Those two cities have made remarkable progress. Greensburg in particular is a downtown delight and I'm sure Campbellsville will keep moving in that direction. I have no idea what spurred Greensburg or, rather: is/was always so picturesque. But I am familiar with Campbellsville Renaissance . It was primarily leadership and vision between the governing bodies and local business owners who in turn have joined together to create rapid and positive change. - Jon Halsey, Knifley, KY About: What will consultant see as he enters Columbia?

Agrees on need for improvements in Downtown Columbia Marsha Walker writes: I agree the city needs improvements in the downtown area. Just pretend you are a first time visitor. Take a close look at each building around the square and two or three blocks out each exit street. Some look great, but it's a real shame we have to view the others every time we pass through town. It will not be an easy task, but I hope needed changes will be made in the near future. Our city would be much more appealing to residents and visitors alike. The appearance of the downtown area speaks volumes about our community pride. - Marsha WalkerComments re article 62020 Doug Beard Agrees Columbia needs to focus on downtown 2013-09-19 01:12:50 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
