The threads have gotten so long and are mixed with random stories and thoughts, what do you want to see in Starkville, and that can reasonably succeed. Also,
what areas do you want to see developed.
My list:
1) See Cotton Mills become a reality. This would be a complete game changer for Starkville and the entire area. The retail/office space/conference center would be a much needed addition, and certainly upgrade that blighted area as you come to our campus.
2)Develop down Russell St and Lampkin from Cotton Mills down until the old Borden Plant, which will be nice once the new Grill opens and Tabor finishes renovating it.
3)Build a new city hall and police station between Main St. and MLK Drive, redeveloping that area
4)Continue upgrading 12 all the way from 82 bypass to 25. Maybe add a smaller grocery store in the shopping center where Corky's or the new Umi are located. Add any chain restaurants that want to come, but not too many.
5)See a nice, inside bar locate in the cotton district (in the old Grill building or tear down that God awful gas station across from the Deli and build there).
I can go on and on, but these are where I would start.
