Comment: First things first on AC courthouse next life Hopes civil public discussion will address limited and dangerous access issue, give serious consideration to new urban dynamics to eliminate defeatist benedictions too many pronounce on the future of the historic landmark By Billy Joe Fudge It looks like a community discussion is going to begin in a more formal fashion on the 30th concerning the future of our Adair County Courthouse. I do want to thank Judge Melton for this progressive effort to involve "the folks" at this critical, landmark time concerning the change that is soon to be taking place in Downtown Columbia. Hopefully, a civil public discussion about the future of our Adair County Courthouse and how the resulting new urban dynamics are going to come to bear on the future of Downtown Columbia will enhance all our thinking processes and expand the parameters of thinking which now restrict public access and economic development. The ideas I've heard span the gambit of possibilities and include: a convention and cultural center, demolish and put in an intersection, remove the additions to reveal the original structure, a library, an art gallery, a community flea market, a coffee shop, a restaurant, a historical center, lease to Lindsey for classrooms, sell to Lindsey for dorms, lease to Lindsey for whatever they want to use it for, use for access to the legendary cave system beneath Downtown, and the winner of the "takes the cake" award goes to the idea to put a road through the Courthouse like the big Redwood out west. I've spoken with several folk who delve into monologues concerning their ideas about future uses for our Adair County Courthouse Most of these monologues end in the same defeatist benedictions; benedictions that are defeatist because of limited and dangerous access issues. Let us come up with the best use for the Adair County Courthouse but let us also realize that even the best idea will achieve only limited success unless we address the access, safety, and comfort issues. The above commentary is about this announcement CJE Ann Melton invites all to meeting on future of courthouseOn Tuesday, June 30, 2009, at 6:00pmCT, we will be having our 1st public meeting on the future of the Adair County Courthouse, in the basement of the Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY. I would like to invite all citizens who are nterested to please attend this meeing. Come with your iedeas and your dreams for how this building can be an asset to Downtown Columbia and still not be a financial burden for the taxpayers of Adair County. Everyone will have a chance to voice their ideas as well as their concerns. This story was posted on 2009-06-27 02:41:15
