What have we heard so far?
• “Cape has many positive things in progress. I would like to see Cape retain a vibrant sense of community. I would like to see more investment in and support of older housing stock and older neighborhoods near the center of Cape. In addition, I'd like to see a vibrant job market and a more diversified tax base.”
• “Continue and expand as a regional business, recreational, healthcare, educational and retail leader.”
• “I envision a city that kindles innovation and provides an energetic vibe.”
• “A great place to raise a family.”
• “A great place to retire.”
• “Much more investment in safety, cleaning up the streets in the downtown and south side areas, reducing violent crimes and shootings, giving better assistance, incentive and protection to our police, fire and EMS personnel.”
