Commissioners highlight outreach plans and community engagement tools after RISE summit
Summary
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.
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.
Members also described a public‑engagement product (presented by Game Theory Co.) that aggregates input, clusters themes, and supports remote participation. One commissioner suggested the tool could help with town meeting reimagining and the commission’s outreach events. Separately, the commission reported that the Jericho Underhill Food Hub incorporated as a nonprofit and will host weekly community pizza nights at the elementary school from July 7 through August 25 to build local engagement.
The commission asked staff to coordinate outreach timing with the small housing‑incentives working group and the wastewater study to ensure public engagement aligns with draft proposals and technical findings.
