This is a very interesting site that shows projects submitted as "shovel ready" for potential stimulus projects in Hopkinsville. You can go back to the home site and look for other cities, too.

I remember seeing this website posted earlier. What I notice now is that people have voted down the proposal to build new restroom facilities downtown (negative 70 votes). That is too funny.

I also notice that building the new middle school is one of the leading projects. I swear if we have to rename CCMS to Obama Middle School because we took Federal funding that would be justification to get out the pitchforks and torches. /sarcasm

There would be so much uproar at board meetings over such a fraudulent naming of the building that we would have to change its name or turn the whole thing down. A free people won't be dictated to.

Shovel ready means they could start construction in 120 days. I have my doubts about some of these.

I would love to know what idiot wants to divert traffic from Walnut to So. Campbell St. It has GOT to be a property speculator around there. Just put some lights on Walnut so we can count the pedestrians we are running over.
