In-person event requests resident input

By Paula Scott

The Village of Bluffton is working on a big picture project called “Bluffton Beyond Tomorrow” that includes a dialogue with Bluffton residents about their community needs and wants.

A new, in-person opportunity to weigh in on these topics has been scheduled:

Community Engagement Open House
3:30-7:30 p.m. on October 19
Bluffton Middle School Cafetorium

This is your chance to spend as little as 10 minutes engaging with topics that received the most attention in an online survey in July.

Multiple stations will be set up in the cafetorium with sticker polls, maps and the opportunity to contribute to lists of ideas and write comments.
