Residents press RPC to include people without internet; planner points to in-person pop-ups and hard copies
Summary
A resident warned the RPC that not all residents have internet or phones and could be excluded; Burke said the RPC held 26 pop-ups across the region, provides hard copies, and will make materials available at the RPC office for those who need paper access.
During Q&A a Tinmouth resident told the group that some people "do not have access to phones so that they can scan things, they're being left out of this whole process." The resident urged the RPC to ensure alternative outreach to people without internet access.
Burke replied that the RPC had conducted 26 pop-ups (one in nearly every community), held regional information sessions, provided chapter summaries and hard copies, and invited towns to request additional accommodations or ask RPC staff to make materials available at the RPC office.
