Lots of great ideas, and four action groups emerged from the "What’s Next Middlesex?” process. These groups welcome your participation! You do not have to have attended the event to now be involved in the follow-up action steps. Here are the topics, and a volunteer convener’s contact info. If you’re interested, please get in touch:
1) Community Communication & Outreach: This group's goal is to strengthen connections and engagement in the Middlesex community. Its first area of focus is making sure Middlesex has access to a useful calendar of local events and meetings. Interested? Contact Elias Gardner: zorkerz at gmail.com
2) Community Spaces and Events: Among other things, this group is making an inventory of Middlesex's event-spaces, and launching a Middlesex event series. Want to be involved? Contact MaryLynne Strachan: marylynnestrachan at gmail.com
3) Trails: This group is interested in creating more and better trails in Middlesex. It has become an active committee of the Middlesex Conservation Commission. If you’d like to get involved in the hands-on work of trail building and maintenance, or have skills in mapping and other trail-related activities, please contact Mary Nealon at mnealon at myfairpoint.net, or Jon Udis at Jonudis at together.net .
4) Economic Development and Infrastructure: This group is exploring ways to support entrepreneurship and businesses throughout the community as well as enhancing our village infrastructure. For details, contact Theo Kennedy: Theo.Kennedy at otisandkennedy.com
