		<description>I think there are some areas of town that could definitely use a facelift. $62 million probably wouldnt cover half of it but it sure would go a long way to revitalize a lot of areas (im not talking specific areas either) just overall run down areas, streets, empty parking lots, etc.</description>

		<description>Give it to small businesses. This would hopefully allow them to possibly stay afloat until people decide to start working again.</description>

		<description>With the state of economy as it is, with COVID still lurking and yes, even killing some households are having a hard time even keeping supplies needed. Therefore, give a local stimulus payment to all households to help during these times, which would guarantee monies returned locally.</description>

		<description>Several folks have mentioned recreation centers.  My only problem is those types of projects end up in the high or low income areas.  When my grandson comes to visit from out of town, there are no really good playgrounds here in the north end of the county.  A Benny Russell Park in Milton is a good example of what is needed.  Otherwise, the monies need to be used for the benefit of the county residents and not the pet projects of county officials.</description>
