September, 2016 Quarter Update
This is the first of what we plan to be quarterly updates and status reports on Grow Decatur activities.
This has been prepared for members of our Stakeholder Committee, the Community Constituents Committee, and the many people who have participated in various Grow Decatur workshops and development forums over the past few years. We thought we should provide this interim communication as a means to provide a snapshot of some of what we are currently working on.
We welcome your feedback… comments, questions, suggestions. To do so, please use the Contact Us tab above.
And, as always, thanks for your continued support.
