Coming in April: A Community Forum on Township Consolidation

Post by WVBI »

The BIC Center and WVBI are organizing a community forum in April on the township consolidation question that will be up for vote in May. We will not advocate any particular result in the poll. Rather our goal is to provide an opportunity for all to learn about the proposal, ask questions and engage in a community discussion about the question. To that end we will seek out persons who can provide factual information as well as advocates that support consolidation and those who oppose it to serve on a panel that will make initial presentations.

We need your help in planning this event. What questions do you have about consolidation that are unanswered? What are the points you think voters should consider in making their decisions? Who would you like to see making presentations? What format should the forum take? Please send your suggestions to info@biccenter.org.

The BIC Center will host the event. It will be recorded for broadcast on WVBI and posted as a podcast so those unable to attend can hear the discussion.

We look forward to your input and to a constructive community meeting in April.
