Stephen D. Collins: Jobs need to be the top priority Comments re article 76531 BJ Fudge covered walkway idea He's on to something Stephen D Collins writes: I am all for making Columbia beautiful. However I wonder when is this small town going to receive more jobs. Working local instead of having to commute to work has many more benefits. For the ones looking at the dollars signs its more money in the local economy. For the homemakers Its more quality time at home with the family. Having a Hour and a half more time at home, may equate to less stress on marriages. I am Not saying B.J. doesn't have a good idea. I just feel more permanent employment word be better for the economy than a few temporary projects. - Stephen D CollinsStephen Collins: Thanks. But making Columbia more livable is economic development at its most elemental level. To take that idea to absurd levels think of yourself as the CEO of a company with high paying jobs and you want to move it to a new location, where you, or your top managers will live. Do you want it in an East Chicago or a Danville or Glasgow, KY. Making Columbia more livable is a win for local residents and a win for economic development. Many believe that if all the money spent by economic development entities where spent on making Columbia more livable manufacturers and desirable employers would beat down the doors to come here. - EW This story was posted on 2015-07-20 11:40:17
