My overall frustration in Starkville/Oktibbeha economic development boils to down to one thing: the perception that we running to stand still. The SDN article from the economic development summit yesterday furthers the frustration.
Why do we have to have a neighboring ED official come in and tell us what we are doing wrong and how to correct it? Isn’t that David Thornell’s job?
Why are we following the Link again? Lowndes County is building speculative buildings so now that makes it OK for Starkville to form an action team and look at the ides. It took two mega-site certifications next door for us to even think about starting to look for one within the confines of our county.
Why can’t we lead? Why do we seem to talk everything to death? Is our leadership truly that ineffective?
I would hope that someone get the Link’s schedule of bathroom breaks and lunchtimes so we could get those right. But it might take forming an action team to even do that….
