To the editor:

Will our involvement as a community, if chosen, in the Hometown Collaborative Initiative (HCI) be a good or bad thing for Brown County?

Will consultative discussion about our direction or path forward potentially add lasting value to our community?

What type of future do you envision?

If we need to add “tax base” to reduce our increasing property tax, what does this look like?

There is plenty of opportunity to get involved in this discussion.

Read the application at choosebrowncounty.com. Find it under the top button “About BCRDC” then on the left side, bottom button “RDC Document Resources.”

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Jim Schultz, Brown County
