SUBJECT:       Creation of a Citizen’s Task Force

 

Hampden will be recognizing the 226^th anniversary of our incorporation next year and is looking to develop core values and long-term strategic plans that will guide the future growth of our community.

To help guide planning, the Hampden Town Council commissioned two important consulting reports covering Economic Development and Town Center Planning. To assist in developing a strategic plan, the Planning and Development Committee will be appointing a “Citizens’ Advisory Task Force” which will use these reports as a resource to provide input on potential objectives of a strategic plan, the prioritization of those objectives and help identify resources and/or community groups which can assist in achieving those objectives. Given the nature and extent of the work this group is undertaking, it is anticipated the Task Force will be in place for 1-2 years.

If you are interested in participating in this very important Citizens’ Advisory Task Force, please submit the following information to the Hampden Town Manager by Monday, January 6, 2020: your name, contact information, and a short statement of why you wish to participate on this advisory group.  Committee selections are anticipated to be finalized by January 8, 2020.
