How to save downtown was subject of Tuesday meeting

George "Lisle" Cheatham, II, Mayor of Greensburg, was the guest speaker at the Tuesday Chamber of Commerce lunch meeting. His subject was "Hidden Secrets in Tourism Development: Green River Paddle Trail".

Mayor Cheatham is recognized for his leadership in turning around downtown Greensburg -- empty buildings have been reduced by half -- and also in developing a new Green County asset, the Green River Paddle Trail.

His message centered around making downtown a good place to visit, with the reminder that if a visitor stays overnight, they will spend much more while here than if they merely pass through for a brief stop.

Feedback to story: Mayor Bell urges new P&R Board to think big

Feedback writer thinks P&R Board should think countywide; city should team up with county

If the Mayor wants to think big, he should be thinking of the whole county - he could team with the upcoming County Judge and make a plan that involves the entire county. Columbia is just a small portion and if only the city is part of a plan we miss an opportunity to improve the quality of life for the entire county population.
