Montrose, SD

Talk about the future of Montrose, just read these blogs from our 5th graders. I am so very proud of our young people, this is the reason we should all try and do everything we can to improve our community. We need to develop opportunities to allow these young men and women to stay here and become active members of the community. They have great ideas and need an outlet to express them, As possible Mayor of Montrose I intend to sit with them and garner there ideas and perhaps bring some of then into being. We need to get the entire community on board and listen to them and feed off their energy and improve conditions for the whole community. Not everyone reads these blogs, but, somehow everyone must be made aware of them and that we need their help if we want to grow. I would like to see comments. Tony

1) What do you like best about Montrose?

My favorite thing about Montrose is that you can just roam around town with your friends and people smile and greet you. As a small town we have a wonderful public school and other facilities. We are a very lucky town! Montrose is a free and safe place.

2) What one thing would you change about Montrose to make it better?

One thing to make the town better would be to improve some of the older buildings on Main St. Such as, we could make the buildings more welcoming to the town and the visitors. Not only that but keeping other parts of town clean. This would be a great improvement!

3) If money weren’t an issue what one thing would you like to see happen in Montrose?

I would love to see a small clothing store so, people wouldn’t have to drive all the way to other towns just to maybe pick up a t-shirt. This wouldn’t only benefit our town but if someone was visiting or camping they could just go into town and get what they need. I have many other ideas!

What a great time this year it was blogging about our town!
