In early April, “Columbia news, views & reviews” wrote: “The consultants emphasized the need to collaborate and move to a set of collective visions. The presentation set a number of aggressive target achievement dates.” The complete post is here.
With emphasis on the words “collaborate” and “aggressive target achievement dates” – has there been any progress?
Wonder how many of the tasks in the strategies with target dates of 2015Q2 are being implemented as the mid-point of 2015Q2 has arrived?
How curious the Columbia Economic Development Corporation has this on it’s Website “Reference the 2010 Columbia Economic Development Strategic Plan for planning information on Columbia. (LINK) and no Website reference to the CEDC’s grant-sponsored Columbia Downtown Master Plan?
We’ve wondered, too, in early April.
- We see lots of the findings of the Wednesday evening presentation in the in the findings in the Economic Development Strategic Plan of a few years ago.

I loved the consultants!!! But it is apparent the OLD BOY school could care less unless they secretly want it . In their school you must be ,, elected, on the payroll or rich to qualify.
The reports’ (both of them) recommendations and paths forward are well-done. But if the suggestions are not implemented, nothing’s been done. The consultants did their jobs, we agree,
