Gordon Forgey: A little early for an obituary

A short time ago, LaCrosse was declared all but dead.

The loss of its grocery store, declining population, a downtown fire, the negative impact of CRP and, more recently, the loss of its bank threatened the town’s future.

Despite even all this, the report of the town’s demise was exaggerated.

LaCrosse is seeing a resurgence. This renewal is not the result of some grand project but is instead the result of many smaller ones and many individuals working together with a common goal.

Even though the town’s obituary had already been written, LaCrosse is now full of life and promise.

Community Pride...
