So, let’s talk Spring! What does spring mean to us; growth, renewal, and redirection? Why am I talking about spring in December? Number one because it’s hopeful, number two because in 2015 the Richland County 7th Annual Community-wide Conference is scheduled for the first day of Spring, March 20th. Then you ask- why am I thinking about that now? The conference is scheduled as a full day conference, with lots of discussion.
The idea behind the conference is to utilize a community feedback and concerns in developing or updating the County-wide Quality of Life Strategic Plan for Richland County. Action Groups are created based on the issues identified in the process. To assure that the plan is turned into action, the action groups include agencies, organizations, and individuals who are interested in working in a particular area. Action plans are written and carried out each year. Conference planning begins with you- the community!
While it’s fun to sit at the watering hole and debate every issue, time during the conference is a premium. To make the best use of the time, we have designed questionnaires to narrow and focus the discussion. If you get a property tax bill in Richland County, one was included in that, and we’ve received a good response; but we want more! There will be many options in the coming months for you to give your input. Watch for them and please, for the future of our county, give us your comments.
The planning committee values your input so participate by going to link for the survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2RG98YF or go to www.richland.org and take the Community Survey listed under News & Announcements.
