What community members have to say

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

During the Farmer’s Market this past summer, Horizons collected suggestions from community members on what problems currently exist, and what can be done to improve Columbus. Each week a new question was presented to be responded to:

  • If you had the authority to decide how to spend a grant of $10,000+ to improve the Columbus community, how would you spend it?
  • What does Columbus mean to me?
  • What do you think are the poverty issues in the Columbus Community?
  • What issues need to be addressed to make Columbus a more thriving community?
  • Currently, what do you think are the things that make Columbus a good place to leave?
  • Where would you like to see Columbus in five to ten years?
  • What do you see as your role in creating a more thriving community here in Columbus?

The responses were then divided up further and were sorted into categories, and a statement was given for each, showing the ultimate goal for the town. Each category is shown here with the statement.
