The annual WHOW Hometown Tour stopped in Lincoln in Logan County Wednesday morning to talk with community leaders about the things happening in Lincoln.

Lincoln Mayor Seth Goodman discussed the ongoing desire in the community to improve 5th street on the west end of the city. He says improvement of the road along with dreams of a bike path has long been in the works and it is something they continue to work with residents in the area residents about.

Mayor Goodman says the inability of the project to move forward has been and still is a point of frustration among city leaders and those in the community.

Big news recently from the City of Lincoln, Mayor Goodman announced the Balloon Festival will return in 2019. He says it may not be as extravagant as in years past but after a year's absence, the desire for its return was made known by the community.

The Lincoln Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual Balloon Festival and upon the organization going defunct, the event did not happen. Mayor Goodman says right now the City faces a major challenge without an asset like a Chamber of Commerce.

Other guests from Wednesday morning's WHOW Hometown Tour stop in Lincoln were Police Chief Paul Adams, Fire Chief Mark Miller, and Superintendent Bob Bagby. Hear from them later this week and into next week on Regional Radio News.
