Ever feel like no one hears you or that no one listens concerning government issues?
A hot topic here in the Jackson Hole community concerns future growth plans.
Everyone has a solution and a comment at the dinner table. We are asking that you share your solutions and comments with the Jackson/Teton County Comprehensive Plan committee.
Currently there are no public meetings on the calendar but your opinion still matters and can be “heard”. If you hurry, you can still participate in the Online Survey but tomorrow (March 21) is the last day to complete it.
Your voice can be “heard” and your opinions expressed on the Comprehensive Plan’s online Blog. You can also email them directly at: feedback@jacksontetonplan.com
Make you voice “heard” by going to the Jackson/Teton County Comprehensive Plan’s website. Here you can familiarize yourself with the four proposed plans. Review the summaries of the meetings that have already been held so you will be up to date on what is happening and what has happened. Get involved and if there is a meeting in your area, attend it. According to their calendar, there is a community meeting tentatively scheduled in May; but when I checked the events calendar (before writing this blog) I did not find a scheduled place or time posted. Another way to get involved is to sign up for updates to be emailed to you.
Then Blog! Blog! Blog! Joining the” Plan Blog” is more than letting off steam or expressing your opinion. It is also a way to learn more about what others think and test the validity of their opinions and suggestions with your own.
The Comprehensive Plan will affect all of us. It is important not only from the aspect of real estate development and housing, but every level of our lifestyle.
There is no perfect plan and no perfect answers, but we can influence what trade-offs we are willing to make and what we will not give up.
