You don't have to be an expert to make an impact!
When many residents were waiting for someone to save the community in desperate need of revitalization one guy had a dream. One guy turned into a group of locals wanting to make a difference, a group of local residents, business leaders and a former Willardite with a dream decided, “Why not us?” That simple question sparked the energy – ready to take on the challenge.
The group viewed a dilapidated 109 year old clock tower for restoration, not as a path toward monetary gain, but as an investment in the future and that further boosts a cities appeal by offering an elevated experience for visitors and residents alike. The hope is building a new path toward revitalizing a small city back to life. While the Save Willard's Clock group or the - Why Not Us Gang had their hands full with plans for the clock, many others were also inspired by their efforts, Many former residents and locals people stepped up to donate to the clock tower.
The group consulted with various clock groups across the country and clock builders as to what could be done and how and what could be saved.
It took awhile to raise the funds needed and success for a small town and hope for the future is here.
The build is almost done and the hope is regenerated for a bright future for Willard! Now if others will come forward and do more for the heart of our community and hometown. Willard will be back in a new way!
The next Willard challenge is waiting for you!
