The town has lost its Ford, Chevy and Chrysler lots, all its implement dealers and lumber yards, its creamery, jewelry store and movie theater. "The big farmers took over, and it's killed small business," says Paul Loberg, who runs a welding shop off Main Street. "All they need downtown is coffee and beer.

Additionally, Harvard has already begun making physical improvements to the area, including repairing sidewalks along North Harvard Street and Western Avenue. While residents argued over whether or not the entire $21 million would go into the neighborhood, Autler suggested that the task force re-implement issue-specific subcommittees so it can complete the discussion of community benefits by the end of the year.
