Edinburgh comprehensive plan workshop is tonight

Residents of Edinburgh are invited to a public workshop to gather community input for the town’s new comprehensive plan.

The workshop, scheduled tonight from 6 to 7 p.m. at Edinburgh Town Hall, welcomes residents to share their insights and vision for the future direction of Edinburgh.

The event marks the first in a series of public meetings dedicated to the development and implementation of the comprehensive plan. Future meetings include a “Big Ideas” open house on May 15 from 6 to 7 p.m., a public presentation of the plan and a video showcase on July 16 from 6 to 7 p.m., a Plan Commission adoption presentation and public hearing on Aug. 20 and an Edinburgh Town Council adoption presentation on Sept. 9.

All meetings will be held at Edinburgh Town Hall and are open to the public.

In addition to the workshops, residents have been encouraged to participate in a comprehensive plan survey. The questionnaire is open until March 31 and covers various aspects of community life from satisfaction with municipal services to input on housing, infrastructure and amenities.

Residents are encouraged to participate through an online version of the survey found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XVKHP7B. A paper copy of the survey can also be picked up from the John R. Drybread Community Center, 100 E. Main Cross St. All responses are anonymous and confidential to ensure honest feedback

Current residents, business owners, former residents and anyone interested in the future of Edinburgh are encouraged to participate in the survey and attend upcoming public meetings to contribute to shaping the town’s future.
