How should Emporia present itself to the heavy traffic that passes through on I-35 every day? That was the question put in front of city commissioners Wednesday morning. The water tower at the corner of 12th Avenue and Lakeview Street near Dillon’s is set to undergo a rehabilitation project, and as part of that, the commission has the opportunity to put something new on it. What that something new is, though, is still undecided. Prior to Wednesday’s study session, the commission received a few mockups of potential designs for the water tower, including one heralding Emporia’s reputation as the founding city of Veteran’s Day, another featuring the logos of Emporia High School, Flint Hills Technical College and Emporia State University side-by-side as well as one devoted exclusively to ESU. And of course, there there was a fairly standard design bearing the city’s name.
