South Bristol Community Engagement Committee Agenda
Community Engagement Committee:
After an extended period of stable governance, South Bristol now has a new supervisor and two new board members. Throughout 2025, residents made clear their desire for more opportunities to help shape the future of their town, whomever the new board members might be. This committee will leverage the heightened interest in civic discourse in the following ways:
- Conducting a review of the Town Comprehensive Plan and determine whether / when to implement an update and recommend line items for implementation by the town • Finding ways to solicit ideas / input from the broader community through suggestion boxes, surveys, and other mechanisms
- Exploring / implementing opportunities for town education & discussion in areas of topical interest such as: digital equity and broadband access, economic assistance for the aging, and more
- Making recommendations for South Bristol participation in the 250th celebration of our country’s founding.
