IT IS NOT our intention to be negative. But Beloit voters are being asked in November to give their nod of approval to a plan that surely will change the character of the community. That vote must be accompanied by the maximum amount of knowledge of exactly what a positive outcome will produce. The Beloit community has a multitude of good things going for it. The downtown is blooming.
Unemployment is low.
Quality of life, too, is on the upswing, with a variety of amenities following the beautiful Beloit 2000 RiverFront Project's success. The Gateway Plan offers to open up a whole new area of growth opportunity for the 21st Century. But before the vote, more details of what's locked in must be forthcoming. The Friday presentation looked good. Beloiters need to know.
