Committee Meeting
In June of 2022 the Township hired KCBA /RE:Vision to do a "space needs assessment" on all current facilities and to facilitate a process to plan for the future. They began work in early July familiarizing themselves with the facilities.
A community engagement plan was implemented. A survey, that was part of the initial plan has not been implemented at this time.
View their presentation at 1:04:30 of the June PW Committee Meeting.
As part of a larger plan to evaluate current facilities, the Township conducted three informal ”POP-UP LISTENING SESSIONS" for concerned residents. Architects from KCBA and RE:Vision facilitated these sessions.
