Commission favors one broad Town Plan survey and targeted outreach to young residents
Summary
Members supported a single, broad Town Plan survey with mixed question types and emphasized outreach beyond online posting—QR codes, printed surveys, in-person outreach, and working with schools to reach younger residents and families.
The Commission discussed using one broad Town Plan survey rather than multiple chapter-specific surveys, favoring a mix of targeted ranking questions, priority scales and optional open-ended responses. Members emphasized avoiding leading questions so responses could guide clear Plan actions.
Commissioners stressed that online posting alone will not reach a representative cross-section of Windsor. Suggested outreach includes QR codes, printed surveys, face-to-face outreach at community locations and events, and coordination with Selectboard outreach. Members placed special emphasis on reaching younger residents and families, including working with schools to invite older students to describe their vision for Windsor and encouraging younger children to create drawings that could be incorporated into the Plan.
