ABOUT THE PROCESS

Starting in February, 2008, we will be spending the next six months inviting many people of different points of view to talk to us about how they see Acton now and how they would like it to be in the future.

We are trying to define what makes Acton special, how to keep its uniqueness as well as figure out what it needs to make it even better.

We want to reach out to Acton's residents to ask them in a variety of forums what they would like their community to give them, and what would make them give their community more.

We will then determine where there is consensus and we will describe this desired future state which preserves all that Acton's residents cherish and value and identifies what they feel are unmet needs.

This will be the main product of the project: a vision statement and a set of goal statements embodying the community's core values.
