Current struggle: Trying to save one of the last stretches of undeveloped downtown and riverfront property from single family homes.

After one community session with 300 ppl, the hired dev. group, 3 months late, recommended turning our riverfront into single family homes 😭 Were trying to get the city to understand that this doesn't serve the residents or the City's bottom line.

"Another feature of the Tower Building is a three-faced clock on the east corner of the two-story base, a tradition carried over from the orignial building of the Home National Bank, whose slogan was "The Bank with the Clock." Each face of the electronic, 400-pound clock is three square feet. The clock sits within a copper case with copper and bronze ornamentation."
