Redwood Business Committee Forming—Your Ideas Needed!

What changes would you like to see in Redwood?

The Redwood Business Committee is forming (first official meeting to be held soon, check back for updates!), and the first order of business is to find out what the folks around town want to have happen in Redwood. Next step will be designing a master plan—don't let your opinions go unheard!

Have you always felt we needed a more vigorous downtown, complete with restaurants and shops? Or maybe you'd like a traffic light in the center of Redwood? An established footpath along Mud Lake?

Perhaps you think we need more encouragement for local artists. How about a building devoted to the arts, with gallery space, art demonstrations, and residencies for out-of-towners with a particular artistic skill, like glass blowing? Or how about drawing people to our seven lakes by offering boat rentals for kayaks and canoes on the shoreline of each body of water?

Then there are ideas for a bulletin board along Route 37 listing all businesses in town. Is there any demand for wind farms in Redwood? How about other ways for people to cut their energy costs while reducing their carbon footprints?

We want to hear from you! Leave a comment here with any ideas you've got kicking around. Any and all thoughts are welcome and will be submitted for consideration at the first business meeting.
