Ideas

The Mendon community is coming together in the spring of 2021 in a 2-month process to set positive direction and action for the future. Hearing from community members is the key to building the ideas for the future that will best support Mendon's progress. Community members shared ideas in 2 ways:

• At the Kick-Off event on March 24 in 4 focus forums: the future of recreation in Mendon; community connection, identity & sense of place; the vitality of our economy; and quality of life & supporting families.

• Through the online or paper survey

See the notes from the forums and ideas shared through surveys here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6vecfe6rt169u0p/MendonCVNotes-compiled.pdf?dl=0.

VCRD distilled the notes into a list of action ideas for community prioritization at an April 21st meeting. Through a dot-voting exercise, community members chose 2 priorities and have formed task force groups to take action to:

• Re-imagine and Improve the Route 4 Corridor

• Boost Outdoor Recreation

All Mendon community members are invited to join a task force group to move the priorities forward.
