​​“Of course, there are already lots of things to do in Terre Haute. But we can always be striving to add to, improve, and better communicate what we have. We should be discussing and defining what we want. With planning, long-term vision, and fiscal discipline, this community can be whatever we want it to be. Not only are these ideas important for our quality of life, they are a critical part of our future economic development success. I asked the public what they would like to see added in Terre Haute, and they responded. I'll be sharing those ideas in more detail and talking about how we can make those ideas a reality. I hope you'll join me.” 

Goodwin invites citizens to join him in this discussion. All points of view are welcome, and citizens will be provided time to ask questions and share their thoughts. There will also be an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter to sign the forum for those with hearing impairment. 

Goodwin is a lifelong resident of Terre Haute. He is the owner of Tractor Tools Direct, an e-commerce company that sells ag equipment to small farms all over the United States. He served as Terre Haute City Engineer under three previous mayors and is active in several community organizations including 
Riverscape, the Vigo County Taxpayers Association, the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce, and TREES, Inc.
