only the downtown, but the entire county as well. Carson noted there is an all-out effort going on presently to attempt to bring new business in. “We’re not just talking about Greencastle,” he noted. “We’re talking about Bainbridge, Russellville, Cloverdale, Roachdale.. .all over the county. ” THE COMMISSIONER added that an important part of the overall move evolved from the efforts of Greencastle 2001, the Greencastle Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Greencastle. “They realized that the No. 1 thing we had to do here is get new businesses to employ our high school graduates,” Carson pointed out. “We cannot continue to lose the youth of this community. If you do, you really have a problem. “And they have brought in new business,” Carson said. “By the way, we have another new one coming in, but I won’t tell you what it is.” Carson said most of the people gathered Tuesday had been elected. “You know a lot of people and people do look to you for leadership,” he pointed out. “SO WE OUGHT TO be doing something and provide that leadership in the community,” Carson stressed. “But we all realize we just can’t do it all ourselves.” Carson suggested county officeholders and employees work with others in the community to retain businesses currently in Greencastle and Putnam County, and to give them support. “We also need to work and challenge other organizations to do the same,” he said. “The group in this room can affect a lot of people.” Carson added it might be a good idea for the county group to meet occasionally to discuss ideas and share thoughts. “If you hear of a good idea,

For example, Carson proposed that next month employees and officeholders meet to discuss downtown parking. “IT’S SOMETHING WE’RE going to have to do something about,” he said, “and we need your ideas.” As far as the theater situation is concerned, a committee of three of-ficeholders-Microfilm Director Mary Watts, County Assessor Charlotte Gould and County Auditor Myrtle Cockrell-will meet with Reese to discuss alternatives. Mayor Bobby G. Albright, who was also in attendance, said he would like to see city officials and employees participate in a similar program to what the county employees are doing. “We appreciate the county’s interest in the city,” Albright told those gathered. “It use to be a city-vs - county situation and it just can’t be that way anymore. We have to be unified. “THE PEOPLE OF Greencastle are expending a lot of money for downtown renovation,” Albright said. “But the downtown has to be for the entire county. “I pledge my support to the county commissioners, county officeholders and employees,” Albright said. “We, in the city, will do all we can to provide the proper quality of life here that we talk so much about. ” Offices represented Tuesday included the Extension Office, Highway Department, auditor, surveyor, Greencastle Township assessor, Board of Health, Microfilm Department, Green Acres County Home, recorder, treasurer, cleric, Veteran’s Office and county assessor. Commissioner Don Walton was also in attendance, while Gene Beck was absent.
