This group would like to address the current water shortage issue by focusing on conservation. The first step in this process is to collect information on the history of this issue. At the first meeting, City Council Member Mike Dimmik will be providing an overview on what the City has been doing to address this problem. Other information on conservation will also be presented. This meeting will take place on Monday, October 19th from 7:00-8:30 at City Hall.

The Entrepreneurship team will be exploring a variety of possibilities such as supporting existing business owners, encouraging entrepreneurial development, developing a small business investment club, and taking part in a cultural heritage tourism project. One other possibility that has been mentioned is the development of a community garden. We have identified a possible partner for this project, but we’d like to determine if there is enough community interest to move forward so we’d like to hear from you about this issue as well. Then next meeting for this group will be on Wednesday, November 14th from 6:30-7:30 pm at City Hall.

This team will be focusing on improving community communication in general, but will also focus on the creation of a community center. Currently the team is working with some design students from the University of Idaho to develop a proposal that fits the unique needs of the Troy community. The group is interested in learning how members of the community feel about this issue. Do you support the idea? What would you like to see in terms of how the building would be designed and what it would be used for? Please be sure to share your ideas. The next meeting for this group will be on Tuesday, November 13th from 6:30-7:30 at City Hall.
