This week we were able to HELP another community move forward in obtaining public input to help plan to make their future brighter.
Many often forget about Sidney as it sits in a corner of Kosciusko County, but alas we haven’t forgotten and are grateful to support them!
Thanks to a gracious donation of the Kosciusko County Community Foundation a team from Sidney was able to partner with MACOG to create a strategic plan.
This past Thursday, that team, and others gathered to obtain public input to complete their plan and to start dreaming about what their first park should entail.
Yes, I said park. Due to a gracious donation of land to the town of Sidney, planning is moving forward to determine what a park in Sidney should entail. Cross your fingers that all the grants come through and the dreams become a reality!!
Lastly, I have to highlight the words of the town’s clerk treasurer Lisa Parrett, “we are trying to work to breath life back into our little town”.
I have to say that with the littlest of residents attending Thursday’s event, with the most beautiful sunset reminding us that we have another day to keep working hard to create a better future, and a surprise new resident (eho has children) showing up at the meeting that life is being breathed back into Sidney.🙌🏼
A special thank you to the hardworking board members, the resilient strategic plan members, and the many folks who came to make Thursday’s event possible. Watch out world, Sidney is back!
