One of the things that sets a community newspaper apart is that its readers are participants in the communities it covers. The people who pick up this paper, read us online, or engage with us on social media are the same people making decisions at town hall, running the organizations that support our communities, and living with the consequences of the issues we report on.
“Let’s Hear It …” is a new weekly feature in which we pose a question to our readers and publish a selection of responses. Questions may touch on issues we’re covering, invite readers to share their experiences and expertise, or simply be worth thinking about together. We’ll share each week’s question in print, online, and across our social media channels. Selected responses will appear in this section next week. Send responses to publisher@lakevillejournal.com.
So, let’s hear it …
What is one change you’d make to your town center to make it more welcoming?
Include your name and town in your response.
