Commission presses consultants to boost outreach and bilingual access for arts plan
Summary
Commissioners urged consultants to expand outreach beyond existing lists, use bilingual materials, host pop‑ups at City Market and the post office, and provide translated emails or direct links for Spanish‑speaking residents who may not scan QR codes.
Commissioners at the Breckenridge Social Equity Advisory Commission pressed consultants and town staff to broaden outreach for the arts and culture master plan, highlighting that many residents — particularly Spanish speakers and seasonal workers — had not received notices. Abigail Martinez and other commissioners said existing distribution lists had missed some locals and suggested additional pop‑up locations and direct Spanish‑language emails.
"So she would like for you to consider adding extra time or extra days or taking the time to really get the input from the town," one commissioner said, urging extension of access points beyond the weekend pop‑ups. Consultants and staff responded that the engagement includes both in‑person pop‑ups and virtual sessions, and that the mini‑poll is available in English and Spanish and will be left open through July 10. They also agreed to follow up with the recreation center, Mountain Dreamers and other local partners to increase targeted outreach to Vista Verde and other neighborhoods.
