"Shuttleworth getting grants is so Lake Helen....".... I love the sarcasm.... really. Too bad this isn't Lake Helen anymore. And too bad some don't recognize the power of some of these grants to perpetuate a viable arts community, thus allowing the community to grow and evolve as a whole. Yes, this whole growth and evolution thing can be scary for some, as I know having the comfort of stagnating businesses and a floundering downtown district is soooo appealing in comparison. I, for one, see great potential for the community as a whole in what these businesspeople and risk takers are doing. It's sad that this community has seen well to work against itself in the past. I truly hope that those with vision can be recognized and supported with the realization that growth can come on the backs of vision alone. It takes a community, and, believe it or not, tangible resources, to come together and help lift us into a new vision of Henry A. DeLand's original vision of our town being the "Athens of Florida". 3 cheers for arts development in DeLand!
