“VISION” IS WHAT WOODBINE HAS
The “Marketing Woodbine” committee formed from the Horizons discussion submitted a grant proposal to Iowa Living Roadways Community Visioning and was selected for the program. We are now starting an eight month process with a Trees Forever facilitator. The facilitator will guide us (the steering committee) and the community at large as the project collects informational data concerning improving the appearance/architectural landscape/transportation routes of our town. The first meeting was well attended and there was much discussion and brainstorming about the above. At the end of the session, the group voted on their top three ideas to concentrate on…this method worked well in helping the steering committee to distill all the input and come to a consensus upon which ideas, in general, to concentrate. Due to the notice of our meeting in the local paper inviting any interested community member, there were several people in attendance new to the process with some different ideas and input . That was an extra positive…hopefully, these different people will spread the word concerning the intent of the Visioning project so the Woodbine community members will actively participate in contributing their ideas and reflections.
