Healthiest State Initiative

Waterloo/Cedar Falls - Mayor Clark and Mayor Crews are asking citizens to help Waterloo and Cedar Falls be chosen as a part of the cities to be transformed. It could mean wonderful things including lower healthcare costs, economic development, and a happier healthier community. The first step is to go online (www.iowahealthieststate.com) and locate a "Start Somewhere Walk" in Waterloo or Cedar Falls on Friday, October 7, 2011 at noon and get out and take a walk. If citizens can't make a walk and want to do it on there own, they can. Please be encouraged to register the walk online so the City gets credit for it. The next step is to go online (www.bluezonesproject.com) and pledge to support the community in this endeavor. There is no monetary amount requested, it is just a pledge to want to live a healthier life. Pledges will be tallied on October 28, 2011 and this will be one of the factors in whether the City is chosen to share in the $25 million dollar project. Thank you for your help!
