Community Open House The meeting was setup as an in person Public Open House with an online link for those that could not make the meeting or didn’t feel comfortable due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting was started with a brief presentation to discuss the process and the plan. After the presentation, stations with planning boards were setup around the room so participants could discuss and leave feedback on the boards. For those online, we recorded the meeting with Facebook Live and provided an online survey at the end of the presentation. In the online survey each page and question was the same boards the in person participants had at the Public Open House. There was a good turnout for the Public Open House (in person and online) held on February 25, 2021. At the meeting there were good questions, discussions and feedback. The Facebook Live video had over 25 people on during the meeting and has had three shares and 933 views since the meeting. There were 11 surveys completed online, with some in-depth feedback. The feedback was compiled from the meeting comments and online survey. The feedback was discussed at the third and final Steering Committee Meeting on March 24th to determine any additions or changes to the draft based on what we heard from the community.
