Focus on Public Outreach
Public Open House — Spring 2025
On May 28th, the ORPC held a Public Open House to gather public feedback on the Public Survey results and draft Plan Goals and Objectives. Nearly 40 residents participated in the Open House which was held the Penn’s Grove Middle School cafeteria. To find out what transpired, review the meeting report. View one of the display boards from the Open House that includes a sampling of the Survey results and draft goals and objectives for Land Use and Housing.
Public Survey — Fall 2024
The public survey “went live” at the October 2024 First Friday in Oxford Borough. During the following weeks, fliers (included to the right) and links were posted on all municipal websites and members of the ORPC helped to get the word out about the survey distributing postcards at the nine polling places in the Oxford Region during the national election. The survey was active for about two months and closed at the beginning of December. We are excited to share that 417 English surveys and 7 Spanish surveys were completed and submitted. View the survey results.
Public Kickoff — Winter 2024
Public Outreach, which is a priority with the Oxford Region’s Multimunicipal Comprehensive Plan update, continued as the Public Kick-off Meeting was held at the Herr’s Visitor’s Center on February 28, 2024 (please see the meeting report).
