Tri-Town Community Center Exploratory Process

If we had a community center for the tri-town area, what would it look like? Do you want a place to take classes, or hang out after school? Would you meet up with friends or plan game nights? And—since we don’t have a physical community center at the moment—how might to connect and improve the spaces and resources we do have? Take the Survey!and join us this spring as we explore how we might create a “community center without walls” and improve social and community opportunities for our three towns.
