Peru, Nebraska - The groups collaborating under "ImPERUving as One" is hosting a town hall to discuss
survey results and input from focus group discussions. The group of City of Peru officials,
Peru State College officials, city residents and friends of the College began meeting
over the summer to develop a vision and possible plan for collaboration between the
City and College.
Darrin Reeves, mayor of the City of Peru, said in August, “From infrastructure to
housing to economic development, the City and College have shared needs.”
“Creating a shared vision is the first step to meeting those needs.”
The surveys and focus groups were conducted by the University of Nebraska-Extension
Office, with the goals of identifying ways the community can move toward positive
change and better understand Peru’s unique characteristics, community assets and potential
opportunities.
All are invited to attend the town hall meeting on Wednesday, November 14 from 6:30
to 8:00 p.m. in Peru's City Hall. A brief summary of results will be provided at 6:30,
followed by discussions and ways to become involved in the areas of interest.
Refreshments will be served. Questions about the town hall meetings can be directed
to Vanessa Sherman at (402) 414-0448.
