More than 50 people showed up at the Burford Theatre on Saturday to voice ideas for the revitalization of downtown Arkansas City. The brainstorming session was conducted by students and instructors from Kansas State University and the South Dakota State University. After a brief introduction, the participants broke up into several small group sessions to exchange ideas. The students, who are majoring in landscape architecture, interior and graphic design, served as facilitators and will use those suggestions and their own observations to create visual renderings that illustrate future possibilities.
