Corn Capital Days We had a great time at Corn Capital Days, talking with hundreds of people - from long time residents and visitors to young families who grew up in Olivia but moved away to the metro area for work. We asked many questions, including what it would take for people who moved away to come back to Olivia and raise their families here. We received lots of interesting answers! We'll be processing all of the comments received and will be placing those answers here - as well as addressing them in the Comprehensive Plan. Come back and visit again soon for updates! |
