Resident urges mailed postcards for town‑center outreach, citing access and awareness gaps
Summary
At the public‑comment period, local resident Sheila Kufo urged the county to send mailed postcards (24¢ per piece) in addition to online notices because many residents are not on social media and could miss outreach banners and posts.
During public comment, Sheila Kufo of Lusby urged county staff to supplement online outreach with mailed postcards to ensure broader resident awareness of upcoming town‑center meetings.
"I would like to recommend that, you know, piece of paper, 24¢, be mailed out to the residents," Kufo said, arguing that not everyone uses social media and that a mailed notice placed on a refrigerator would reach residents who otherwise might miss banners or online posts. Staff acknowledged the suggestion and said outreach will include website postings, Facebook, Nextdoor, banners and a county app; staff also said they would work with the communications team (CMR) to push more notice.
