The first round of voting opened Monday, March 3, and closed Thursday, March 6, at 11 am. This four-week contest runs through April 14, 2025, and you can vote daily at strongesttown.com.  Also, if you become a member of Strong Towns, your vote will be weighted more (they do this to keep a larger city like Columbus from just getting their population to out-vote a smaller city like ours.  Members are from around the country and are likely to be “more objective”).
