Ottawa residents have benefited from joint meetings among city, county, and school officials. The Harvey County model shows a coalition of city, county, and chamber groups meeting regularly to align objectives. A Franklin County alliance should include Wellsville, Pomona, and others, with active participation to address water, fire, roads, libraries, and urban sprawl for the greater good.
