Consolidation does not mean loss of identity
As the history of numerous consolidated governments around the nation demonstrates, consolidation does not affect the individual identities of the various cities and towns. Cities and towns remain the same; only the efficiency of the government changes exponentially for the betterment of the entire consolidated area. I know of no incident where a consolidated government disbanded. Why? Because it just makes good business sense.
From all accounts, community development, school system modernization, infrastructure modernization and business expansion have been remarkable.
Shall we begin the process? It will not be easy, but, once completed, it will bring a strong and sustainable area-economy with the inherent vibrant job market.
