There are a lot of great ideas presented (I discounted happy hour and the beer tent at 4th of July, sorry). The first step is to get a small group of people together to prioritize and quantify each idea and then solicit support from a larger group of residents. Ideas/issues can then be brought to each department head or committee as appropriate for discussion. Many of these ideas would need public or private funding and also would involve some kind of development or construction. Lets keep the momentum going.
If you are interested in participating in a small group discussion to help expand on these ideas please reply.
