Commissioners cite concern about "meaningful participation" in TRORC draft process
Summary
During the Aug. 7 special meeting, Sharon commissioners and their TRORC representative discussed perceived shortcomings in public participation for the regional plan's drafting and agreed to raise those concerns in formal comments to TRORC.
At a special meeting on Aug. 7, 2026, Sharon Planning Commission members said the TRORC Regional Plan draft contained positive elements but raised a concern that the planning process did not include "meaningful participation" from the public. The concern was discussed collectively by commissioners and by Ira Clark, Sharon's board member to TRORC, who attended the meeting to provide additional context.
Commissioners reviewed parts of the draft and discussed how to reflect process‑related concerns in the Commission's formal comment to TRORC. They noted that ensuring adequate public engagement during regional planning would be a key point to include when John Roe circulates his draft comment to members before the Aug. 10 submission deadline.
