All of the town contacts will be sent an introductory letter outlining the agenda for the evening. Each meeting will last two hours and be made up of both small and large group projects. The goal will be to begin to develop a vision statement that will help guide each townships efforts over the next few months. There was a question as to whether the time allotted would be enough. Roffers agreed that there is a lot to do in that time and some of the meetings could go beyond the two hours if a large number of people show up.
Some towns are concerned about a lack of participation.
Roffers said that there might indeed be some towns where there will be only the land use committee and a few other people. The meeting will still be able to achieve what it is intended to do. The committee was asked to take a look at the information on the maps and see if there were any additions or corrections that would need to be made. There were several spots pointed out where the data was in error or something was missing. Mark said that this commonly happens and that the township input in developing the final maps is very important.
