*CANCELLED* Master Plan Workshop: Right-Sizing Business Development for Alton

Dates: 
Friday, September 17, 2021 - 6:00pm to 7:30pm
Location: 
Description: 

***Unfortunately, we did not receive enough RSVPs to go forward with the workshops. A larger number would have been needed for the Master Plan Committee to feel confident that the results were representative of the views of the community overall. Fortunately, the response to the initial on-line survey was great - over 800 responses - giving the Master Plan Committee good direction to start on the Master Plan update. They will, of course, be providing additional opportunities for input in the future as well.***

The Town of Alton Master Plan Committee invites members of the Alton Community to upcoming Master Plan Workshops to share their ideas and opinions on the direction of Alton’s next Master Plan. These 90-minute workshops will enable community members to share opinions, ideas, and concerns about the past, present, and future of Alton.
