Comprehensive Plan Update

So I suppose I haven't really written about my work...  I have been researching the state's general process of creating a comprehensive plan and have been holding conversations with individuals from multiple social groups.  At this point, I am in the process of evaluating the 2005 Draft Comprehensive Plan and am re-aligning it with current state policies/guidelines to identify where discrepancies and updates in the inventory need to be addressed.  I have also been considering other communication outlets to inform the Vinalhaven community as to the plan's progress, particularly as committees form and things really begin to more forward.  Suggestions are welcome, so far we have tossed out a webpage on the town's site and a facebook page.

I have also become a member of the Energy Club out here and we have been quite active.  The end of the month will offer a interior storm window building workshop as an inexpensive winterizing technique.  Other efforts will be directed towards working with the ARC more and their Community Learning Center programs... who wouldn't want to learn how to can/preserve fall harvests, bake breads, make pasta, and build gingerbread houses!?!?

Well I suppose that pretty much sums up what I have been up to in regards to the project and general community integration.
'til next time
