Tonight's Comprehensive Plan meeting went well, with the 110 or so attendees being broken up into tables of 8 for discussion and brainstorming. The results were a bit surprising, with most people wanting to see more chain restaurants in town, like more Starbucks, Chilis, etc, and also more cookie-cutter housing developments. Just kidding, just kidding. Actually, people were fairly unified in their distaste of the current highway 24 configuration (mainly complaints over it being not pedestrian-friendly). Focus on outdoor activities and community building opportunities were also voiced quite a bit, and there seemed to be quite a bit of support for a rec center, affordable housing, and a community college. This is a continuing process, so it's not too late to get involved. Keep an eye on
WPCompPlan.org for more information, surveys, meeting times, etc. You'll soon be able to view a recording of the meeting at
