And the mayor notes that thinking out of the box and not be afraid to ask the big questions, will get you different results. He concluded, "If you always do the same thing, then you'll never improve on what you have."

He commented that was why the "Bottoms Project" will be successful and bring more fresh, new excitement to the historic downtown area.

The study group is looking into this concept, and Mayor McFarland indicated the initial study could take a year. WGNS will keep you informed.
