In a community workshop held in Owensboro last September, Sanoff told of an elementary school in Davidson County, N.C., that turned to the kids first when soliciting ideas for a new school. Support from Daviess County Public Schools has been tremendous. Activities such as these are key to the county's Graduation 2010 goals. Graduation 2010 enhances the core curriculum and cultivates creativity and teamwork skills, said coordinator Marilyn Mills. Though some will fail to see the merit in investing in our riverfront, I believe it is a quality of life issue.
People like to live in beautiful places.
This will only serve to help recruit business and individuals. I thank the city leadership for selecting a design firm to begin working with us to uncover Owensboro's potential.
