Community Visioning & Civic Engagement Workshops

Please join us for a series of workshops on the role of Community Visioning and Civic Engagement in implementing a community comprehensive plan and other plans.

At the workshop, presenters will be sharing ‘lessons learned’ from GrowSmart Maine’s Model Town project in Standish, Maine, and highlighting best practices from other partners’ projects and planning resources from around the state.

These workshops will be of interest to professional and citizen planners, elected and appointed town/city officials and others interested in developing and implementing a community’s vision for its future. Lunch will be provided.

Funding for these workshops is provided by the Maine Community Foundation and the Leonard C. & Mildred F. Ferguson Foundation. For more information, contact Maine Model Town Director Bruce Hyman at bhyman@growsmartmaine.org or call 699-4330.
