A
A
Yes,
we're
here
really
to
celebrate
the
the
River
Walk
itself
and
get
a
completion.
We
won't
give
you
a
chance
just
a
little
while
to
view
it
and
see
it
and
all
the
good
stuff
that
goes
with
it,
but
you
need
to
know
this
has
been
pretty
much
a
process
in
the
making
a
project
in
the
making
for
27
years
and
before
you
say
anything
halogen,
Road
and
we'll
list
who
did
not
take
this
long,
so
I
know
you're
thinking,
that's
just
go
on.
A
Event,
though,
this
is
a
historical
event
in
a
sense,
we
are
completing
a
major
transportation
corridor
for
our
community
and
I'll.
Explain
that
for
you
in
just
a
second,
it's
also
historic
in
the
sense
of
where
we
are
today.
If
you
think
about
this,
we
were
sitting
on
the
old
bit
Mills,
ground
and
I.
Think
about
every
time.
I
come
up
here.
A
Look
at
this
site
about
the
history
goes
with
the
people
that
worked
here,
the
things
they
manufactured
and
now
it's
being
transformed
into
something
else,
that's
being
transformed
to
a
use
that
we
can
all
enjoy,
just
as
much
as
it
has
in
the
past
you're.
Looking
at
all
that
historical
event,
in
the
sense
that
this
is
Atiya
project.
A
This
is
a
transportation
investment
Act
of
2012
project
that
you
voted
for,
that
you've
helped
pay
for,
and
you
should
be
proud
of
that
fact,
because
this
is
what
ten
million
dollars
gets
you
ten
million
dollars
like
we
think
and
no
no,
we
don't
think
we
believe-
and
no.
This
has
been
well
spent
money
for
our
community,
since
2012
we've
had
seven
projects
that
were
just
developed
for
those
I'm
happy
to
say
with
this
one
being
complete,
so
you
should
be
proud
of
that
fact,
and
there
are
three
right
now.
A
The
other
three
are
actually
under
designed
and
ready
to
go
forward
now.
I
want
to
kind
of
kind
of
real
quickly
here
before
we
get
started
here,
I
want
to
kind
of
kind
of
dovetail
into
what
the
mayor
said
at
his
State
of
the
City
meeting
when
he
started
off
talking
about
how
he
could
see
in
the
future
about
things
that
are
going
on.
I
want
you
to
do
just
the
opposite
with
me,
though
imagine
there
is
no
Ripper
wall
and
imagine
what
we
have
to
live
with
today.
A
If
there's
no
River
Walk
folks,
there
is
no
uptown,
Columbus
I,
dare
say,
there's
a
there's
a
TSYS
for
that
matter,
and
there
is
no
total
system.
There
is
no.
There
is
no
talk
really
about
whitewater.
There
certainly
is
no
Frank
Marc
pedestrian
bridge.
It's
all
because
of
the
fact
that
this
spine
system,
what
I
call
a
spine
system,
runs
along
the
river
here
and
the
things
that
has
generated
over
the
years.
That
makes
us
what
we
are
today
that
great
community
a
lot
of
folks
are
envious,
envious
of
interns.
A
What
we
deal
with
so
what
was
started
back
in
1992.
We
are
here
to
declare
today
in
2019
that
is
finished.
We
have
finished
really
ways
I
consider
the
equivalent
of
a
new
highway.
If
you
think
about
it,
we
had
two
two
major
sections:
that
if
we
walk
that,
we
want
to
celebrate
today,
one
being
this
section
here
at
build
the
other
section
at
City
males
that
were
not
complete.
A
So
if
you
wanted
to
get
on
this
and
aged
a
wall
ride
or
jog
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
you
had
to
get
back
off
them
first
and
a
lot
of
folks
didn't
care
for
that.
We've
gone
beyond
that,
so
we've
offered
new
recreational
opportunities
to
the
community
as
a
whole.
Because
of
this
completion,
I
will
also
submit
to
you
that
we
have
often
also
providing
new
economic
development
opportunities
for
our
community.
A
In
the
sense,
what
we
did
done
with
the
Uptown
area,
I
anticipate
the
same
thing
happy
for
the
fifth
mill
area,
the
city
Village
area
itself.
Excuse
me
those
kind
of
things
coming
about
as
we
go
along
now
understand
this
great
amenities
in
place.
So
for
that
we
should
have
be
very
proud
of
what
we
as
a
community
have
accomplished
and
what
we
are
doing
to
help
instance
insinuate
for
the
future
itself
for
us
a
great
community.
C
C
We
know
that
oftentimes,
those
great
things
may
be
delayed,
but
today
we're
thankful
that
they're
not
denied
so
father.
We
pray
now
that
this
corridor,
this
connection
point,
will
serve
our
city
that
will
touch
hearts
and
that
will
bring
health
and
fitness
that
will
cause
us
to
meet
and
to
co-mingle
with
people
that
we
may
have
never
envisioned
ourselves.
Connecting
with
before
now
lord,
we
pray
that,
as
this
serves
as
a
place
of
opportunity,
that
you
give
our
leaders
the
vision,
the
insight
to
know
what
is
best
in
the
development
of
the
areas
now
Lord.
C
We
thank
you.
We
thank
you
for
the
protection
that
you've
given
all
of
the
workers.
We
thank
you
for
the
provision
to
make
it
happen.
Now
we
ask
in
the
precious
name
of
your
son,
that
those
great
things
that
you
have
prepared
and
you
already
have
in
store
for
the
City
of
Columbus
Georgia
for
the
Chattahoochee
Valley
area.
C
A
A
A
I
know
that
many
of
you
I
failed
maybe's,
backups
I
failed,
introduce
myself
for
those
who
don't
know
me:
I'm
Rick,
Jones
I'm,
the
director
of
planning
for
the
city
and
I
know
many
of
you
are
saying:
well
gee
Rick.
How
did
you
manage
to
pull
this
off
by
yourself,
but
I?
Didn't
trust
me
I,
didn't

this
one?
Let
me
introduce
to
you

I
after
you

I'm
slaughtering
your

on
that
deal.
I
also
want
to
give
you
just
a
few
more
minutes.
A
If
you

time

I
want
to
specially
just
give
a
sincere

They
have
graciously
allowed
us
from
value
of
hospitality
to
hell

other

Here
we
do
appreciate

Johnson

Ladies
and
gentlemen,

your
hard
work
and
put
this
together
for
what
you
appreciate.
A
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
man.
What
a
great
day
I
think
the
only
thing
better
this
weather
is
the
occasion
that
we
are
gathered
for
and
Ric
stole
a
little
bit
of
my
thunder
I
wanted
to
recognize
that
the
councilmembers
are
here.
You
know
one
of
the
cool
things
about
being
a
mayor.
Still
in
that
honeymoon
phase,
you
know
the
first
couple
of
months
you
get
to
take
a
lot
of
boughs
for
work.
D
D
This
this,
you
know
as
a
kid
you
Millennials
won't
get
this,
but
as
a
kid
we
actually
used
to
play
with
puzzles,
and
it
was
always
pretty
neat
that
you'd
put
a
piece
in
here
and
a
piece
in
there
and
you'd
see
it
slowly
start
taking
shape
and
it
was
a.
There
was
not
only
a
sense
of
an
accomplishment
but
a
real
sense
of
all.
When
you
push
that
final
piece
into
place.
D
That's
what
today
feels
like,
because
what
we're
doing
now
is
pushing
into
place
the
final
piece
that,
as
pastor
Allen
said,
is
not
only
a
connector
between
north
and
south
and
different
socio-economic
Stratus.
But
it's
also
a
reminder
of
what
you
did.
We
introduced
council
mayors
take
vows.
This
is
about
the
people
of
Columbus.
It's
your
vision!
It's
your
courage!
It's
your
penny
that
accumulated
the
money
to
be
able
to
make
this
fantastic
Riverwalk,
so,
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
the
employees
and
all
the
residents
of
Muscogee,
County
welcome
and
good
job
Columbus.
A
You
know
I
was
feeling
pretty
good
about
myself
while
ago,
which
is
not
normal,
but
I
was
still
feeling
pretty
good
by
myself
and
to
us
top
spoke
to
a
counselor
Garret
while
ago
he
said
oh
yeah,
Ricky
I,
remember
when
the
what
River
wall
got
started.
I
was
only
eight
years
old,
I
felt
really
old.
All
of
a
sudden
in
that
right,
Gary
Allen.
A
We
both
kind
of
owe
with
that
so
I,
say
that
to
say
this
I
get
the
pleasure
also
introducing
our
city
manager,
Isaiah
heatedly,
who
was
also
twelve
in
this
project
started.
So
you
need
to
understand
his
his
youthfulness
here,
but
he's
here
to
also
give
you
the
insight
about
the
project
and
what
it
means
to
Columbus
this
city,
man.
E
Good
afternoon
to
each
of
you,
I
caught
a
few
of
the
words
of
the
mayor
when
he
said
to
you:
it's
your
vision,
your
courage
and
your
peony,
and
let
me
just
take
the
opportunity
for
all
of
those
to
say.
Thank
you
without
your
vision,
without
your
courage,
without
your
penny',
we
would
not
be
standing
here
this
afternoon
in
the
early
90s,
we
had
a
combined
sewer
overflow
problem
and
you,
the
people
of
Columbus,
say
yes
to
taking
care
of
a
combined
sewer
overflow.
E
But
then
there
was
that
vision.
That
said,
we
just
can't
go
and
spend
ninety
five
million
dollars
to
take
care
of
a
combined
sewer
overflow
problem
and
still
have
something
that
we
cannot
see,
and
many
people
would
not
be
able
to
appreciate
and
someone
with
the
vision
and
the
courage
said
we're
going
to
take
your
penny
and
we're
going
to
put
on
top
of
that
combined
sewer,
overflow,
a
Riverwalk,
and
that's
why
we
are
standing
here
today,
because
someone
had
the
courage
and
someone
had
the
vision
to
use
your
penny
wisely.
E
You
know
I,
think
about
what
this
area
looked
like
and
what
uptown
Columbus
looked
like
in
the
1990s,
and
we
didn't
have
a
national
infantry
museum.
We
didn't
have
an
urban
whitewater
rafted
and
we
didn't
have
the
many
things
that
we
appreciate
today.
You
know
you
got
the
beautiful
Tisa's
campus
and
it
was
just
being
coming
to
life
and
so
for
all
of
the
good
things
that
have
come
out
of
the
Riverwalk
I
just
stand
today
to
say
thank
you
and
then
we
didn't
stop
with
just
a
22
miles.
We
did
the
interconnect.
E
We've
got
60
miles,
total
today
of
Riverwalk,
going
from
downtown
to
Columbus,
State
University,
to
Cooper
Creek
and
on
out
the
Flat
Rock
Park
and
then
from
casita
Road
on
how
to
a
Fort
Benton
we've
got
inner-city
walking
biking
jogging
trails.
That
total
makes
that
total
approximately
60
miles,
but
you
know
bridges.
This
is
the
second
bridge.
In
recent
months
we
did
the
one
across
Victor
Drive
and
when
I
think
about
the
bridges,
I
think
about
connecting
people
places
and
things
you
know
Columbus.
E
If
you
look
around
us
today,
I
mean
we've
got
a
beautiful
city
and
we've
truly
been
able
to
connect
people
places
and
things
and
do
something
really
great
for
Columbus.
We've
got
role
projects
going
on
all
throughout
our
city,
north,
south,
east
and
west.
We've
got
as
many
as
25
projects,
either
going
or
planned
totaling
more
than
300
million
dollars.
E
People
are
asking
about
public-private
partnerships,
all
the
great
things
that
we're
doing,
and
so
bridges
are
connecting
people
places
and
things
and
we're
doing
great
things,
and
it's
my
pleasure
to
stand
here
before
you
today,
as
we
look
at
this
10
million
dollar
bridge
connection,
to
say
thank
you
to
the
people
of
Columbus,
for
your
courage,
for
your
vision
and
for
your
penny.
So
god
bless
each
of
you
and
Columbus.
Let's
keep
doing
great
things
for
our
children
and
our
grandchildren
as
they
come
along
behind
us
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
God
bless
you
I.
F
Well,
I've
been
outed
as
the
Millenial
of
the
group
based
off
them
Tony
my
age,
but
that
gives
me
a
unique
perspective.
I
grew
up
in
Columbus,
my
family's
from
here
and
I
got
to
see
downtown
when
there
wasn't
much
going
on
down
here.
When
there
wasn't
a
Riverwalk
and
I
got
to
be
one
say:
I'm
able
to
say
that
I
was
as
a
child.
I
was
able
to
ride
the
bikes
along
the
Riverwalk,
with
my
brother
and
my
pair
and
it's
remarkable
because
I
came
back
from
law.
F
F
Personally,
it's
an
excited
day
for
me
is
somebody's,
a
fitness
fanatic,
because
I
love,
running
I,
love,
lifting
weights
and
now
I
can
run
up
and
down,
and
it's
exciting
just
for
RC
as
a
citizen
live
work
play
something
that
our
former
mayor
mentioned
a
lot
mayor
Tomlinson
and
we
talked
about
how
do
we
get
Millennials?
How
do
we
get
the
generation
after
Millennials?
How
do
we
get
those
folks
to
want
to
come
to
Columbus,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
live-work-play?
F
Thank
you
for
your
patience,
because
I've
been
there
right,
along
with
you,
I'm
here,
to
enjoy
the
fruits
of
that
success
and,
let's
just
keep
it
going
under
mayor
Henderson
I'm
excited
to
be
a
part
of
his
administration
and
excited
to
see
what
we
can
do
in
the
future
to
expand
our
progress.
Thank
you.
G
Good
afternoon,
first
of
all,
I
always
like
to
start
with
thanking
my
Almighty
God
for
allowing
me
to
be
where
he
wants
to
me
to
be
at
the
time
he
wants
me
to
to
me.
This
is
a
wonderful
experience
and
I'm
so
excited
that
we
finally
came
not
only
to
the
end
but
to
a
beginning
of
a
new
future
for
Columbus
Georgia
I've
been
coming
to
Columbus
Georgia,
since
about
1982
being
in
the
military.
The
army
took
me
somewhere
brought
me
back.
G
Took
me
back
brought
me
back
then
I
realized
Columbus
is
where
I
need
to
let
my
my
duffel
bag.
This
is
my
home
and
I
can
tell
you
that
I
could
be
no
prouder
than
I
am
any
other
day.
Then
today,
because
it's
the
people
of
Columbus
that
makes
Columbus
what
it
is
today
and
what
would
always
bubi
our
fathers
before
us,
our
mothers
before
us
with
vision,
the
new
generation,
the
middle,
because
people
come
to
Columbus.
G
Now
we
used
to
say
and
I
remember:
I
saw
Bryan
from
the
chamber
here,
I
remember
when
we
used
to
say
in
Gary
you
notice
what
is
Columbus?
What's
it?
What's?
It
well,
what
is
it?
It
is
the
people
of
Columbus
Georgia,
it's
the
vision
is
the
dream
and
the
faith
that
you
have
in
your
government.
We
might
not
be
perfect.
G
We
might
not
please
everyone,
but
our
hearts
are
in
the
right
place,
because
we
each
one
of
us,
love,
Columbus
and
see
the
vision
and
the
potential
of
Columbus,
and
this
Riverwalk
shows
that
shows
how
everyone
believed
in
this
project.
Everyone
was
willing
to
take
their
little
penny
and
put
it
in
that
pot
plant,
the
seed
water,
the
seed
to
get
to
where
we
are
today.
G
So
many
of
the
speakers
before
me
said
it's
connecting
us:
it's
giving
diversity
its
economy,
it's
running
its
exercise,
but
to
me
it's
the
love
of
people
that
we
realize
that
we
are
one
community,
and
this
is
how
we're
showing
it.
When
we
can
walk
bike
picnic
play
frisbee
and
enjoy
our
River
look
around
you
look
at
you.
G
Would
you
ever
think
you
were
in
Columbus
Georgia,
look
at
the
people
that
come
to
visit
and
stay
I
just
met
three
families
not
too
long
ago
they
came
to
visit
and
they
said
I'm
coming
back
to
Columbus,
you
hear
people
that
retire
from
the
Army.
Where
are
you
going
I'm
coming
back
to
Columbus
Georgia?
Why?
Because
of
the
people,
and
so
I
say
to
you
today,
continue
to
have
faith
in
us.
We
might.
G
We
might
not
be
perfect,
but
we
understand
the
dream
and
we
love
our
community
as
much
as
you
do
and
I
asked
you
to
pray
for
all
of
us
and
our
community.
We
have
some
challenges,
but
we
also
have
beauty
close
your
eyes
for
one
moment
and
remember,
was
Columbia
used
to
be
and
look
where
we're
going
and
look
at
the
legacy
in
the
future
we're
leaving
for
our
children.
Thank
you
and
God
bless.
You.
A
One
of
the
pleasures
I
take
when
we
have
visitor
to
Columbus
and
we
go
down
to
the
Riverwalk-
is
I
like
to.
Let
them
know
that
they're,
actually,
on
top
of
a
large
sewer
project,
think
about
that
for
a
second
and
their
cat.
You
know
the
kind
I
can
see
the
wheels
turning
their
hair
when
I
tell
them
that
they
like.
We
means
it's
a
super
project
pensee.
This
is
a
big
sewer
project.
A
You
know
we
have
some
probably
combined
sewer
in
the
past
and
instead
of
you
know,
just
doing
like
most
communica
do
just
on
the
earth.
You
turn
the
earth.
They
stick
a
pipe
in
the
ground
and
be
done
with
it.
We
really
took
eliminating
I
mean
limits
made
lemonade
out
of
it.
That's
the
best
analogy.
I
can
give
you
I
could
use
another
analogy,
but
I
don't
think
it
would
be
appropriate
for
this,
but
we
really
did.
A
A
I'm
grateful
that
Billy
Turner
had
that
that
kind
of
image,
that
kind
of
vision
that
kind
of
desire
to
move
forward,
because
in
my
mind
Billy
is
really
the
father
of
the
River
Walk
itself
he's
the
one
that,
because
his
ideas,
his
thoughts,
his
visions,
his
desire
that
we're
here
today
and
we
have
all
benefited
over
the
last
27
years.
Because
of
that,
the
things
he
has
set
forth
for
us
are
now
coming
to
fruition.
A
B
A
H
You
know
some
of
you
who
know
me
when
I
get
started
on
water,
it's
hard
for
me
to
stop.
It
is
April
Fool's
Day,
the
Falls
of
the
Chattahoochee
River
at
Columbus,
have
been
occupied
by
humans
for
hundreds
of
years,
Columbus
was
designated
as
a
city
by
the
state
of
Georgia
in
1827,
making
it
the
the
last
frontier
city
designated
by
the
original
13
colonies.
H
Columbus
struggled
with
its
water
supply
through
the
late
1980
to
the
late
1800s,
trying
several
different
Springs
and
creeks
as
sources
to
address
that
issue.
The
city
asked
the
state
of
state
to
formed
the
Columbus
Board
of
Water
commissioners
in
1902,
sewers
were
being
built
as
the
city
grew,
but
without
any
plan
for
treatment
of
the
wastewater
in
1958,
the
city
asked
the
water
board
to
address.
The
sanitary
sewer
issue
was
not
really
well
accepted
by
the
water
board.
H
Nevertheless,
the
water
board
did
its
job
and
in
1964,
Columbus
completed
trimeric
primary
treatment
for
wastewater,
which
is
settling
of
the
solids
federal
Clean
Water
Act
was
passed
in
1972
in
1974
Columbus
completed
secondary
treatment
of
wastewater,
therefore
complying
quickly
with
the
requirements
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
in
1976.
Under
the
provisions
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
Columbus
completed
a
wastewater
facilities
plan
with
support
from
consultant
Jorden
zones
and
Golding
guess
who
the
Jordan,
Jones
and
Golding
project
manager
was
for
that
project.
H
Let's
jump
forward
about
10
years
to
January
in
1989.
So
who
shows
up
as
the
president
of
Columbus
waterworks
and,
along
with
me,
came
my
beautiful
and
wonderful
wife,
Judy
who's
sitting
here
on
the
front
row
who's
been
telling
me
what
to
do
for
60
years.
So,
like
a
lot
of
other
things
that
I
get
credit
for,
she
deserves
most
I.
Thank
you,
sugar.
H
H
1992
was
the
500th
anniversary
of
Columbus
discovery
of
discovery
of
America
and
our
city's
namesake.
The
Amos
and
Turner
Bradley
foundation
had
committed
1
million
dollars
each
towards
something
significant
for
the
Columbus
Day
celebration
of
1992,
the
city
by
the
Uptown
Development
Authority
added
some
additional
funding.
H
The
waterworks
picked
up
the
riverwalk
idea
and
ran
with
it,
but
not
without
significant
support
from
the
N
city
manager,
Michael
Brown,
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem,
AJ,
McClung
and
City
Council
members
read
McDaniel
and
Evelyn
Turner
others
who
I
want
to
mention
who
were
strong
supporters
were
rose
your
debt
welder
with
Uptown
Columbus,
Peggy
theas.
She
was
a
support
in
the
mayor
Jernigan
office
in
a
river
fund
committee
of
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
which
included
architect
at
Bertie,
Shaw
Carolyn
of
Columbus
State
and
Virginia
people's
of
historic
Columbus.
H
Clearly
the
Riverwalk
idea
was
established,
so
the
uptown
part
of
the
Riverwalk
was
completed
and
dedicated
before
we
resolved
how
to
finance
the
entire
project.
The
water
board
had
performed
a
study
that
suggested
options
for
funding
this
CSO
fix,
including
raising
ad
valorem
taxes,
significantly
increasing
water
and
sewer
rates,
but
a
local
option.
Sales
tax
was
considered
preferable
so
with
strong
support
from
Mayor
Martin
and
campaign
leadership
from
Matt
Swift,
the
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
was
passed
by
significant
margin
in
late
1993.
H
It
provided
funds
for
completing
the
balance
of
the
CSO
project,
the
southern
River
Walk
to
Fort
Benning,
the
Civic
Center,
the
Public,
Safety,
Building
and
other
projects.
We
also
received
a
20
million
dollar
federal
grant
to
demonstrate
our
CSO
treatment
process,
for
which
we
have
received
considerable
national
recognition
in
2000
the
waterworks
built
the
northern
section
of
the
Riverwalk
as
part
of
a
water
line
project
to
serve
Phoenix
City.
The
section
extends
from
Lake
Oliver
Road
on
the
north
end
to
just
behind
where
we
are
located
now.
H
I
would
also
like
to
mention
that
the
current
waterworks,
President
Steve
Davis
was
hired
in
1990
to
oversee
the
construction
of
the
epitome
Riverwalk
section
and
has
been
deeply
involved
in
every
one
of
the
Riverwalk
projects
for
the
waterworks
has
participated.
Steve
is
here
back
there
Stan.
Would
you
raise
your
hand
and
there
a
couple
other
Water
Works,
guys
here,
William
who
have
been
involved
in
that
project?
H
A
Told
you
earlier
that
I
was
not
part
of
the
original
team
in
92,
which
I
was
deeply
envious.
About
be
honest,
but
I'll
tell
you
now.
I
am
eternally
grateful
for
the
fact
that
I
got
to
see
that
and
help
with
the
completion
of
this
last
section
and
a
couple
of
the
other
section
on
the
river
water.
More
importantly
to
me,
Billy
is
thank
you
again
for
your
leadership
and
your
vision
without
it
we
wouldn't
be
here
today.
A
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that
appreciate
it
at
this
time
we're
going
to
do
the
ceremonial,
ribbon-cutting
and
dedication
here,
I'm
going
to
ask
mayor
Henderson
and
members
of
the
City
Council
for
emeritus
Thomas
and
I'd,
like
for
you,
also
to
be
here
with
us
over
here
to
cut
our
city
manager
and
both
our
deputy
city
managers
as
well.
If
you
want
to
walk
to
the
wall,
you'd
have
to
go
back
up
here
to
the
little
gate,
follow
a
pathway
around
and
come
down
this
gravel
road.
A
A
We
have
vans,
it
will
actually
shell
you
down
to
the
other
end,
you
may
walk
on
the
Rue,
walk
from
that
point
up
and
back,
if
you
so
desire,
so
you
have
to
two
ways
of
going
either
this
way
by
walking
down
through
the
pathway
or
going
back
up
and
catching
one
of
our
show
bands
and
going
down
from
there.
Last
but
not
least
after
the
cutting
of
the
ceremonial
ribbon.
