Master Plan Mike Duffy gave an update on the Master Planning process. He explained that the last Master UpdatePlan was completed in 2006. Many of the projects that were identified have already been accomplished. Sixty-five percent of the projects have been completed or are underway. The remaining projects need to be revisited to see if they still fit into the plan. The first community th meeting was held on October 19 with about 60-70 people from the community attending. The key areas of focus are what does downtown mean, sustainability, protecting the water in the river and streams, and the Horizon’s area.
