Each resident will know that they are part of a community that cares about them and supports them.

[The residents] have taken ownership of this community and have made it home. Many have said this will be their last home.

The goal of the community action committee is to improve communications to residents and visitors. This Web page will be the primary mode of communication for all concerned.

Preserving Chinatown -- keeping it a community where people will live and not just a tourist attraction -- is very important spiritually.

A plant like this will bring millions of dollars into this community, as well as high-paying jobs. It's bringing money into our small towns, and it's benefiting our farmers by increasing the demand for their corn.
