Review: Andy,Remember back when we both served on the City Future's Task Force? Remember how mefifd I would get when the facilitator kept throwing around the word progressive ? If the word is used to describe progress , great, but we have to define what progress is. I think it became clear as we progressed that the work done previously to the task force's formation was vague and lacked direction. The sense I got from the intitial plans were We want to be Fairfax-lite . As you know this was pretty much rejected by the task-force. Why would someone want to live in Manassas if our message is Manassas: Almost Fairfax . Also, I have to wonder, why so few of our final reccomendations have been implemented?I agree that we have to figure out what we want to be. However, to arrive at this vision , we being Manassas, will have to decide this through committee. I fear we will end up with a camel . A camel is a race-horse designed by a committee. What we need here is bold leadership.I think your Manassas Next concept is a great start. I think you should communicate the vision as far and wide as possible, and then say if this is the future of Manassas that you want, follow me . Of course you will and should continue to seek public input. This is what wise leaders do. However, there comes a time when decisions need to be made, and those decisions must be made by the fewest number of people possible. To do otherwise will lead to nothing being done.I also agree 100% with Rich's comments on the need for a sales force . Community development is tasked to execute on the vision it is handed, not vice versa. I see some potential with the housing developments near old-town, and the parking garage, which will help make the old town area attractive to shops and businesses, and there is space to be had. More restaurants, and places attractive to young couples and professional singles would help further develop a desireable night-life and appeal to those who would be living in the new housing. I'll also second his comments on the small town America ideal we need to portray. This is very attractive to families. The farmers market, family friendly events at the pavillion on weekends and the like help foster the small town America image. But I am not telling you anything that you don't already know.
