The Arts & Culture Proposal

WNMU

The Town & Gown is a tardy response to WNMU's notorious lack of communication and indifference to community concerns.  Arts & Culture are great but criticism from outside accreditation sources are believed to have prompted their recent charm offensive.

The elusive Dr Counts was nowhere in sight on this occasion - thank Heavens for small blessings. The single agenda item - discussion of a competitive proposal to be submitted to the state to have Silver City designated as one of two Arts & Culture districts in a new pilot program - proceeded smoothly thanks to a lack of the usual pumping of political hot air.

Though unfunded as yet and assuming Silver City wins the competition, the proposal wold bring funding under the rational that arts, culture, and related tourism can be the basis of economic development.  It would also double the NM tax break to for those remodeling houses in the historic district according to their guidelines... handy for those with enough income to make use of a $50,000 tax break.  For the poor slumphs slinging hash and making the deliveries, there's even a suggestion of low cost "workforce housing."  That's what I want to be when I grow up... a workforce!
