Necessary and needed were the ORGANIZATIONS of Farnam

FARNAM COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE

The Community Improvement Program (CIP) was first begun in Farnam in 1970. Several people, interested in improving the community, formed a group and entered the state wide contest. The Community entered the contest in 1970 and 1971. Improving the looks of the community and improving and expanding the services it offered to its citizens was the primary reason for doing so.

After 1971, the town did not enter the contest again until 1979 when a new committee was formed. The organization tried to improve many aspects of the community. In 1979, the town won a special award for public facilities and governmental services and also won honorable mention for being one of the six top communities in Class I, communities with a population of 350 or less, at the banquet held in Lincoln in the fall. Some of the major accomplishments in this year were: the cleaning up of several downtown lots, the formation of a housing authority, sidewalk and curb clean-up, and the first Farnam Fun Days.

In 1980, Farnam placed third overall in Class I communities, won the Hoiberg award for projects in Recreations, Arts and Humanities, won the Farm and Ranch Award, and won honorable mention in the areas of Community Development and Environment and Energy. Major projects completed during 1980 were: the multi-purpose court in the park, the horseshoe court and mini park in the downtown area, conducting an attitude survey and the formation of a Farnam Development Plan, obtaining a law officer through cooperation with Dawson County, expanding Farnam Fun Days into Founders’ Day, and beginning a community history book.

In 1981, the committee was again active, looking forward to the completion of eight units of housing for the elderly, the formation of a community development corporation, finishing the Farnam history book, and several other community improvement projects.
