HUMBOLDT — A reinvigorated downtown area was cited by Humboldt residents as one of their long-term goals at a recent countywide community conversation.
While there have been signs of progress, including two new restaurants in the works and other buildings being remodeled, Thrive Allen County is eager to see what other ways the heart of Humboldt can be resuscitated.
The “Re-Imagine Humboldt” downtown summit is at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at 806 Bridge St.
Property owners, business owners and anyone else concerned about downtown Humboldt is encouraged to attend.
Aspiring business owners, who for one reason or another have not taken the plunge as entrepreneurs, also are invited.
A brief look at Humboldt’s past will precede an in-depth discussion about downtown’s strengths and challenges.
A similar event in Iola earlier this month drew a standing-room-only crowd to the courthouse assembly room.
Dinner will be served.
