I’m writing to ask all Meigs Local Residents to vote “Yes” on the Multi-purpose Complex Levy next week.
The current state of our facilities is an embarrassment to our community. Visiting teams have an extremely small locker room and often don’t go back inside after they get dressed. Moreover, ladies are forced to use dark port-o-johns instead of real restrooms.
We have a plan in place to build and maintain an entire complex that we can be proud of. We won’t have another chance to build something this nice at such a bargain price. At $3 per month for five years, we can afford this.
Times are tough, but there’s no wrong time to do the right thing. Vote “yes.”

Dear Editor:
As the primary business development organization within Meigs County, we are asking all voters within the Meigs Local School District to vote “yes” for the Multi-Purpose Complex Levy on Nov. 3
We believe that this Multi-Purpose Complex is good for Meigs County for two reasons. First and foremost, it will be helpful in attracting new businesses to our community. When people relocate, the first things that most look for are good school facilities and parks. This project greatly improves both.
Secondly, the Multi-Purpose Complex will bring visitors into Meigs County, and we’re not just talking about football games. Band competitions attract hundreds of visitors, as do large track meets, Special Olympics, Relay for Life, Senior Olympics, etc. While visiting football fans may come and go quickly, many of these other spectators and participants will eat in our restaurants, shop in our stores and leave with a more favorable impression of our community.
We are asking all Meigs Local voters to commit to moving forward toward a better community by voting “yes” for the Multi-Purpose Complex on Nov. 3.
Patty Pickens, President
Meigs County Chamber of Commerce

And for Mrs. Pickes, her thoughts a stretch. When businesses look to relocate, they don't look at a fancy football field. They want favorable tax terms and an educated workforce. Spending my taxes on a place to play doesn't improve education, not when my niece doesn't have a textbook in her Meigs Local class. Just curious too about which businesses are next to the high school that will hipotheticly get all this business. Her outlook is bad for business. Tax those of us who live here and spend money in their businesses. That's bad business.
