1. Clean up town

   Make businesses clean up around their business so it will look nicer for people driving through town. Some places just look very junky.

   Hold an Annual Business Summits where a diverse group of selected young adults (18-35) do the following: engage in lively discussions with established entrepreneurs, learn how to start a business, find out how local banks support businesses, are exposed to new trade ideas relevant to the county, can pitch a business idea to potential investors, and can learn about business needs and projections from local chamber and commissioner members. This can help spark business ideas in the minds of participants. Hold an evening banquet to acknowledge participants and their achievements as well as recognize sponsors and supporters. This must have adequate diverse representation. Thanks

   I was driving on 24/27 and noticing how unkept the sides of the road was. Overgrown grass on the curb and leaves and trash on the side of the road. Does Troy not have a road crew or do they just spend all their time on N. Main St. There are other parts of Troy. If I was driving through town , I would think that no one cares. So why would I want to stop and check out anything. I'll just drive on to the next town. i hope that someone will read this because Troy has potential to be a very nice town.

   There are a lot of vacant building and spaces around this town, it does not matter if the restaurant is a small business or a fast food restaurant. People should be able to eat good food without going too far to eat. And visitors would like to stop and eat something besides what we got here in this town. A donut shop or a simple mom and pop restaurant will do as well. Plus these restaurants would provide job opportunities for young people and people that are looking for jobs.

   Get rid of the logging trucks. They put their flashers on and drive 50 mph through town. They are going to kill someone. Everyone is afraid. I’m afraid to get in the turn lane because they take up what ever lane they want. They drive so fast that they can’t stay in their own lane.

   The new park is great, but when that is the only attraction for small children it can fill up pretty quickly. With all the precautions in mind about COVID it is alarming to go there and sit with 50 other people. Parents would like to see Blair Park and Lowe Warner Memorial Park renovated. They would be great attractions if they could receive the tender love and care they very much need.
