How would you prefer to participate or engage in decision-making?
The surveys seem reasonable, but I'm afraid that too few people participate. Community meetings with members of the County Board might be useful, but I'm not convinced they listen. They seem to come to meeting with their minds already made up. How do you make people listen who do not want to hear?
How do you prefer to receive information from the County and APS about new community facilities? (choose all that apply)
Specify which lists, newsletters, newspapers, stations, social media channels or other outlets you prefer:
Washington Post; County newsletter (though I would like to see that come out more often)
