Discussion on Funding Improvement
It is our opinion that the County should invest funds from the sale of the hospital site in downtown Fairfield into improving West Texas Street.  Following are the key reasons they should focus on West Texas Street as a key gateway to improve:

-          The county is placing an unfair share of burden from its social programs onto central Fairfield.  This can result in neglect of property, which can be an eyesore for the community.  The county needs to treat Fairfield equitably like the other cities in the county.  One of the ways in which the County could assist the area and compensate for the unfair burden placed on Fairfield with the county social programs is to help improve the area.

-          With the county investing into the West Texas Street area, local businesses and homeowners will have more motivation to join the effort.

-          The former hospital property being sold is in central Fairfield, so a portion of the funds should stay in Fairfield rather than being used for programs in which we to date have had no or little say.
