41. A Brief Note on Community Artifacts


A Brief Note on Community Artifacts

Bob Komives
::

We build artifacts: transportation and communications systems, schools, libraries, institutions and machinery. We call them public works, and support them by taxing ourselves to build them. As we move through an information age artifacts change. The library building will be less important than the means of access to its information. Safe and convenient routes to recreation facilities may become more important than routes to office or factory. As entrepreneurs have greater geographic flexibility in choosing locations for their operations, the civic, cultural, and governmental institutions that provide a healthy and stimulating environment for worker and family increase in importance. No matter the changes, we will continue to spend much time and energy to supply ourselves with public works --artifacts that sustain our community.
