FAIRMONT– The Fairmont City Council and city staff met on Tuesday for a Strategic Planning meeting. Things that were discussed included a vision of Fairmont, growth, and defining what success looks like and how it could be measured.
Seven of the 13 attendees tallied that housing, daycare, and livable working jobs were part of a future vision for Fairmont. Those three things were described by attendees as things that the city of Fairmont needs. Councilmember Bruce Peters said that earlier in the meeting he wrote down that housing and child care equals growth.
Other parts of the vision included bringing people to town, attracting people to town, law enforcement to provide a safe environment, redevelopment, and improving and protecting parks and lakes.
