Alva is a rural town that has begun displaying economic growth in the region. What began as a small town, is now home to a large population of students k-12 and many job and home opportunities. In regards to the schools, tradition is extremely important. In most situations, this can bring a sense of community to students and their families. Unfortunately in this case, this also means that student life can be stagnant and heavy-footed. I believe that balance is needed to further the growth of this small, rural town.
Alva is a really great community. It may be in the middle of nowhere, but the people are really what make Alva. I enjoy the short commute to work and school everyday. The only thing I would change is food options, such as fast food and more places to eat out. Alva is a really nice town I just wish there was more restaurant to choose from instead of getting burnt out on the same thing over and over again.
Small town, surrounded by country, and big companies haven't set in yet so there's even a RadioShack and local grocer still around.
