There was further discussion on the "expanded town center"; and what it might encompass. Discussion. Chairman Brown next stated, "For the record again, I'd like to get it into the record, I think there's a lot of great opportunities here, that's being missed. A few years ago, matter of fact, about five or six years ago, I had written a lot of articles to vari~us people to try and get the trail to be a Trolley, and now - it would have taken the kids to the high school - it would have taken the children to the Tuscawilla area, it could have ran down the middle of 434 and 17-92 and it could eliminate a lot of school bussing, and of course, we would not have a trail, we'd have a trolley. But, now with this Town Center, I think it was a good idea, now, and in hind sight, I think it was a tremendous idea I had, even though no one picked it up and pursued it". Chairman Brown further spoke about diggings in the area, and he suggested that some type of historical type of building for historical items should be included in the area.
