WYMORE, Neb. (AP) - A recently formed development group is working to continue a series of community improvements in Wymore.

Wymore/Blue Springs Area Development group vice president Dale Crawford says the group is organizing as an affiliate of the Nebraska Community Foundation, a statewide organization helping communities develop improvement programs, including fiance, strategy and training.

The Beatrice Daily Sun reports that the group has built a park in a vacant downtown space and set up a directory of notable locations and people in the window of an empty downtown building.

Janice Cohorst of the Wymore/Blue Springs Area Development group says the group will more concretely define its mission, begin informational projects for fundraising and start applying for grants when it gets input from residents.
