Town Of Wakefield Vision2030 Public Meeting #2 To Take Place On April 28

Press release from the Town of Wakefield:

April 15, 2021

The second interactive Vision2030 meeting will take place via Zoom on Wednesday, April 28, 2021, from 7 to 9 p.m. Topics to be discussed at this meeting include the cultural and historic landscape; public facilities and infrastructure; adapting to environmental changes; and enhancing business districts and opportunities. Register today. The interactive nature of these meetings encourages participants to connect in real time, when possible. There will be telephone dial-in options and non-interactive Wakefield Cable Access Television (WCAT) rebroadcasting.

Led by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), the visioning process presents brief informative content on 12 visioning topics across three public forums and engages participants with purposeful questions to elicit community input on “common ground” goals and shared values. A community survey will be open after each meeting to provide additional opportunity for feedback.

The end result of this process will be an illustrated plan report. It will feature a visual executive summary with a poster-style spatial framework; a community vision and values statement; and potential strategies for subsequent community action on how to achieve shared goals. The non-technical, user-friendly resource document can inform future discussions and be a reference for boards, committees, and other Town leaders.

This project is possible, in part, through a Technical Assistance Program grant from the MAPC. Learn about the Vision2030 initiative at https://www.wakefield.ma.us/vision-2030.

A third and final interactive forum is tentatively scheduled for June 2021.
