Task force plans community town halls and outreach for Regional 1
Summary
Chair Brooks and Janice Banks said the task force will plan community engagement sessions—likely on a weekend and in community centers or churches—and consider partnering with Tri-State Defender's community series to publicize and broaden turnout.
Members discussed outreach and public engagement to keep residents informed about Regional 1, its purpose and the project timeline. Chair Brooks said the task force wants to make meetings convenient for people who work and that a Saturday town hall might be appropriate to maximize attendance.
Janice Banks, SPW Community Strategies, said the committee could solicit proposed dates from members and that the task force should invite Regional 1, the All World team and other key partners to present project details. JW Gibson suggested collaborating with Tri-State Defender's community series as a way to reach residents; the suggestion was accepted as a possibility to be considered.
The task force said community engagement should explain why the project is being pursued and how oversight, local participation and remediation steps will be handled; staff will propose dates and potential community locations for a town-hall meeting.
