Open House for Rangely comprehensive plan Saturday, Feb. 25
Rangely | Stop by the Early Education Center Gym (402 W. Main Street, Rangely) any time between 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25 to participate in the 2024 to 2044 Comprehensive Plan Public Open House for the Town of Rangely. There will be posters displayed in a gallery style that participants can interact with at their own pace. Activities during the Open House will include:
– Learning about the feedback received from the recent Strategies Survey
– Evaluating the feasibility of new and existing strategies basked on factors like anticipated cost, man power requirements, and time needed for completion
– Voicing ideas for additional strategies that creatively accomplish the goals identified during the Visioning Process
The purpose of this Open House is not to select one desired strategy for each goal, but rather, to gauge the feasibility of each strategy and to develop additional strategies if the ones presented are not varied enough to ensure that the goals identified during the Visioning Process will be accomplished in an efficient manner, no matter the political climate in the future.
