Whether on the Web, on the streets or in the paper, true to form, Silverton does not lack for community involvement. The drawn-out process of determining – from an array of choices – how best to proceed with a downtown rejuvenation project – is a prime example of the type of citizenry that characterizes Silverton.
At least the Homer Davenport Community Festival came off without a hitch after months of discord and confusion. At the Aug. 8 Silverton City Council meeting, many community members were publicly praised and thanked for pulling together a fine festival, from various city staff including police and public works; the Rotary Club, who became the administrative entity for the event; and all the citizens who stepped in to make it happen, including Councilor Kyle Palmer.
