In order to attract new business and entrepreneurs, the community norms need revision. The closed ethos that has stifled this area for decades, must change. If Little Falls continues to shut out grand ideas, like the idea to build a college here but was refused because some power brokers didn't want the riff raff that college towns attract, this community will never grow or prosper.
This is exactly why I asked the council in 2013, to consider the development of a Human Rights Commission. Larger cities like St. Cloud, the Twin Cities, Duluth, Rochester, Willmar and others are able to attract a wide variety of business and cultures, because they welcome diversity.
Little Falls clearly does not embrace change, varied viewpoints or ideas.
What steps have the Mayor or City Council taken to encourage a more inclusive, welcoming community?
