Why did you strike out the “military” definition for Platform? I’m sure Coshocton’s defense budget is too small to build underground silos, so we can interpret this definition in a different way.
First, “Satellite”. It’s often a place with similar purpose to a main center (such as Pomerene Center or other hubs of our arts community) but scaled down so it can take its resources to a different place where they are needed.
“Rockets and missiles” could be seen as the encouragement and inspiration that can be launched from Park to reach out, entertain, educate and draw together the community.
Ok, so it’s a stretch….
Dave,
Yes, I see. I was not thinking broadly enough and can see how the word “satellite” could be appropriate. Rockets and missiles as in fireworks sound fun and would be a draw. But we’re a little skittish about fire in the old PARK hotel space. Lasers maybe?
