I appreciate the secondary opinion compared to your initial article. I personally find myself somewhere in between the two opinions. While I understand Harrisonburg isn’t making the strides it should in certain areas, I do believe when you consider the situation Harrisonburg was in a decade or so ago it’s made enough progress, especially in downtown, to be candidate for Strongest Town. Now, this isn’t saying I think Harrisonburg’s current position is great. I just believe the last decade should be one viewed positively enough, that we’re on our way to becoming a “strong town”. Great article as always Brent!

Thanks, Chase. The deadline was extended and KC Kettler and I filled out the application this past weekend. We'll see if we make it to the final 16.
