I think an emphasis on parks, recreation, walkable communities and bike paths have the potential to transform the community in a way that promotes activity and fitness. Make this a community that not only watches sports, but actively participates and reaps the benefits of better health. It can also become an economic tool if we build on events like the triathalon. Build the right recreational infrastructure and we can have more events that draw people in for boating, rowing, biking, etc.
