This week on WBAA’s Ask The Mayor, we continue our discussion with area leaders on coronavirus. How does West Lafayette plan to handle potential outbreaks? What are the contingency plans for city agencies and employees? How can citizens stay informed, stay safe, and avoid alarm?
This week in our talk with West Lafayette Mayor John Dennis, we’ll discuss this week’s city council vote on the West Lafayette Downtown Plan. What’s next for downtown, and what concerns remain? Why is park space so important?
Plus, the city starts a new initiative to provide free feminine hygiene products in city facilities. And a listener asks about the possibility of a new fire station.
*Today's show was taped prior to news of a West Lafayette Junior-Senior High school parent being tested for possible coronavirus. Asked for comment, Mayor Dennis said of West Lafayette School Corporation Superintendent Rocky Killion's e-mail on the matter: "It's a very good way to approach it. You approach it with extreme caution and an abundance of information."
