Taking stock of Lincolnton’s future April 1, 2002 - It’s not very often that city officials invite public comment in a forum open to all taxpayers but that’s what’s happening this Tuesday night at the Lincoln Cultural Center. It’s a rare opportunity for those who feel they have stock in the future of this city. Have an idea that will improve the appearance of the city or help serve its citizens? Have any thoughts on a condominium project downtown that has been proposed by a Charlotte developer? Maybe you would like more bike paths, better traffic patterns, stricter speed law enforcement. Now is the time to share your views with city planners. The city of Lincolnton planning department and the state’s regional planning organization, Centralina Council of Governments, will host a public forum on land use at the Lincoln Cultural Center Tuesday beginning at 6 p.m. If you can’t make that meeting, another will be held on Tuesday of next week at the Boger City United Methodist Church. Each meeting will give citizens an opportunity to help shape the future. Centralina staff will show the audience approximately 50 slides on different types of residential developments and non-residential develop and let participants express their preferences about the presentations. The city of Lincolnton is already has postcard appeal with its courtsquare and attractive downtown area. What city planners are proposing is an opportunity to make it an event prettier city while safeguarding its assets. Of course it’s easy to listen and appear responsive. We would hope that this very generous invitation for public input is followed by concrete action on worthy recommendations. |
