450 - starting over
City workshop June 27 to map plans
A revitalized website, iconic logo designs, and a long list of ideas are on tap for a City Commission 450th workshop at its next meeting, June 27, following the folding of its designated commemoration manager, the First America Foundation.
"This will be a key meeting to put ideas together and get under way," City Manager John Regan said at Monday's City Commission meeting.
Looking over an extensive idea list Commissioner Bill Leary compiled from several sources, Vice Mayor Leanna Freeman said, "People should look this over and come forward with ideas they'd like to handle."
One resident who came forward during the meeting, Colin Bingham who had helped create the First America Foundation, presented three new ideas that were well received: a 450th Improvement Club, marketing of two vacant city lots to reduce blight, and repair of the North City Train Station for use as a community center.
Commissioners Monday also called on the County Commission to support a funding plan for the Galimore Center and pool, approved $7,500 in matching funds to keep Home Again St. Johns operating, and endorsed an application to raise the Constitution Monument to National Historic Landmark status.
