“Growing Garnett Heart & Soul” has been gathering opinion data from city residents and others for nearly two years and now will move toward executing action plans based on its findings over the coming months. The objective… ask members of the public what they love about their community, then make decisions and take on projects that pursue those values.
The group is ready to gather residents, businesses, students and organizations to develop and prioritize the action items and create an overall action plan for the city. In a report to the Garnett City Commission recently, organizer Paula Scott told commissioners they want to find out how to preserve what’s important to people and what ideas they have for the future of Garnett. Garnett’s Heart & Soul Project is run by private individuals and has provided city leaders with periodic updates on the process throughout its information-gathering phase. The group has seven value areas identified so far.
