Commissioners highlight outreach plans and community engagement tools after RISE summit

Jun 17, 2026

Members reported takeaways from the RISE summit and discussed outreach tactics including website tabs, postcards, farmers‑market tabling, open houses, and a remote engagement tool (Game Theory Co.). The Jericho Underhill Food Hub also became a nonprofit and will host weekly community pizza nights this summer.

The full story

Commission members who attended the RISE summit shared ideas and potential partnerships to support the commission’s outreach for zoning amendments. Commissioners mentioned "Let's Build Homes" (a statewide coalition) and the Northern Border Regional Commission as potential state‑level partners for funding or policy connections. Staff described planned outreach steps—launching a website tab in July, tabling at farmers markets, postcard mailings, and hosting open houses before and during the public hearing period.
