Multimunicipal Comprehensive Plan Update — News and Announcements
The next meeting of the Oxford Region Planning Committee is scheduled for Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at 7:00 pm via Zoom. Please email Mark Gallant, ORPC Secretary, for a Meeting Agenda at mgallant@chesco.org.
Focus on Public Outreach
Public Outreach, which is a priority with the Oxford Region’s Multimunicipal Comprehensive Plan update, continued as the Public Kick-off Meeting was held at the Herr’s Visitor’s Center on February 28, 2024 (please see the meeting report).
The latest strategy in the outreach effort was a public survey the “went live” at the October First Friday in Oxford Borough. During the following weeks, fliers (included to the right) and links were posted on all municipal websites and the members of the ORPC helped to get the word out about the survey distributing postcards at the nine polling places in the Oxford Region during the national election. The survey was active for about two months and closed at the beginning of December.
We are excited to share that 396 English surveys and 7 Spanish surveys were completed and submitted. (Please email Mark Gallant for an overview of the survey results: mgallant@chesco.org) The survey results will be analyzed further and inform the development of priorities for the Comprehensive Plan and goals and objectives for the individual plan chapters.
