Commissioners discussed logistics for public outreach on the Town Plan update and settled on the Masonic Lodge as the most suitable venue, citing capacity, kitchen access and parking. The commission agreed to hold two outreach meetings — a large, big-picture session followed by a second, more detailed meeting — and to aim for late April for the first session. They discussed offering pizza or desserts, arranging audio-visual equipment, and publicizing the events via the town website, Facebook, Front Porch Forum, posters, library channels and local businesses.

Lory Banbury told the commission CVRPC will print materials for the outreach and "I will check with Eli on this also," signaling CVRPC would coordinate logistics with local staff. Commissioners also discussed distributing postcards and making materials available on Town Meeting Day (March 3) and agreed to finalize publicity and venue logistics before the next meeting so outreach can proceed on schedule.
