State of Adair, State of Columbia: Today at The Pines at Noon

The public is invited, as well as Chamber members.

By Ed Waggener

Adair Countians will be gathering today to hear the local equivalent to the State of the Union and the State of the Commonwealth speeches, when Adair County Judge Executive Ann Melton and Columbia Mayor Mark D. Harris speak at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Mulligan's at The Pines at Lindsey Wilson.

Judge Melton will discuss challenges the county faces with Westlake Hospital, the animal shelter, 911, and the jail, as well as constraints faced by the county road department budget, but she will also be discussing new opportunities for improvements in the jobs picture and other bright spots in the economy and advancements during the the past year.

Mayor Harris said that he will be reporting on progress with the departments within City Government, and advances made through City/County cooperative measures. "We are working together so well now," he said, and added that this cooperation has helped the community get through some rough economic times better than would have been otherwise.



"If we are going to move forward," he said, "All parts of the community will have to work together, especially the City and County." He be discussing the resurgence of business in Downtown Columbia and how the City is helping it happen. "We're proud of the sidewalk program," he said. "I'm hoping that we'll see more projects on the scale of the Well Walk, where we take care of a big problem rather than patching here and there."

Both Mayor Harris and Judge Melton will be taking questions at the session.
