Chapter 6: A Place Where We Work Together to Get it Done

We’re seeking community input on policies and strategies that support effective, transparent, and accountable implementation of Groton’s POCD. This short survey asks whether you support, support with changes, or do not support a series of proposed approaches for this topic area. Your feedback will help guide how Groton strengthens communication, coordinates across departments, and builds a responsive structure for putting the plan into action.

For context as you respond, you may find it helpful to refer to the Chapter 6 draft. Click here to view it.

Community Engagement

1.  

Policy 6.1: Provide Open and Transparent Communications and Opportunities for Community Engagement Across All Levels of Government.

2.  

Strategy 6.1a: Develop a Town-wide comprehensive communications strategy to ensure that the public is informed about what is going on, how to find information, and how to get involved in local government. Ensure that there are clear channels of communication for the public to contact and provide feedback to Town staff and officials and a centralized digital platform for ongoing projects.

3.  

Strategy 6.1b: Develop a Civics Engagement training program for all residents including those from underrepresented populations.

Getting to Know You

The following questions are optional, but we hope you'll answer them.

Why? It's important to know who we're reaching. We want to make sure ALL voices in Groton are heard. If we find that people from certain neighborhoods or backgrounds aren't being heard, we need to figure out a way to reach them. All questions are optional, and all answers are anonymous.

Thank you for your cooperation!”
