What do you love about Chatham?
What do you want to see preserved?
Chatham Voices is a community project that seeks to determine what makes Chatham special and what residents value most when it comes to nature, rural living and our community. This project stems from the simple idea: regular people should have more of a say over the decisions that impact their lives. This non-partisan initiative was designed to give people the opportunity to say what they care about most and identify shared priorities through a community vote.
This platform is your opportunity to propose local solutions and speak out on issues related to nature, hunting, conservation, forests, farming, outdoor recreation, climate, and any other environmental quality-of-life issues.
After we have gathered everyone's opinions and ideas we will create a ballot and invite Chatham residents to vote on their favorite local project idea. When the vote is in, we will get started on facilitating the project that receives the most votes!

The Chatham Voices Process
Public forums: Every resident has the opportunity to share their thoughts and propose a local project. Projects must be “actionable” and local.
Propose: Projects can be submitted online here
If you can't think of a community project please take the Survey and share your views. https://forms.gle/yWqdjASstm8VH3wJ8
The Ballot: All proposed projects will be placed on a community ballot and mailed to every home in Chatham.
The Community vote: Any Chatham resident 10 years or older will be eligible to vote. Residents can vote by mailing their ballots, or voting online. (Voting will start January 1)
Take action: We will publicize the results of the Vote and work with volunteers to implement the projects that receive the most votes!
THE WHY- The area around us is undergoing significant change. Decisions affecting our community and town's landscape will be made over the next decade, shaping our future, and we want to ensure that the people who live here are heard first. Otherwise, developers, utilities, and investors will get to decide what happens to our town.
