WINSLOW — Kennebec Valley Council of Governments is partnering with the town to facilitate a community meeting for Winslow residents on 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 21, so residents can give some input into the comprhensive planning process. The meeting will be at Winslow Elementary School, 285 Benton Ave.
Through this forum, Winslow residents can help shape Winslow’s goals for the next 10 years and can ensure their opinions are heard on issues affecting Winslow now and into the future. Coffee, snacks, and lunch will be provided and door prizes, donated by local businesses, will be given away. The town will provide supervised activities in the school gym for children 3 to 11 years old, so that parents may attend the event. No RSVP is needed, but email questions to KVCOG Community Planner Joel Greenwood at jgreenwood@kvcog.org.
Key topics to be discussed will be economic development, housing, public service, land use and development, as well as developing a 10-year vision. It is also an open forum for residents to discuss their thoughts.
The Comprehensive Plan is a non-regulatory document that Winslow is updating that is used as a guide for all aspects of development over the next 10-12 years. Upon completion, it will be reviewed by the state and then there will be a final opportunity for public comment before being voted on and officially adopted by Winslow.
