Revising a concept that received mixed results from the public two years ago, Biddeford city councilors who specifically represent one of the city’s seven voting wards plan to host small, personal ward meetings to get resident feedback regarding various city issues.
See below for details regarding dates and locations about the upcoming meetings.
According to a press release distributed by the city, councilors are hoping to hear from residents about their concerns, most notably how they think a recently approved $6 million recreation bond should be spent.
The meetings are scheduled to take place over the next several weeks.
Organizers say the meetings are designed to provide residents with an opportunity for open dialogue and direct engagement with their elected officials.
Staff representatives from the city’s recreation department will also attend the meetings to hear input and questions about the city’s various recreational facilities.
Organizers say input from the community will help inform upcoming decisions about recreation investments and neighborhood priorities.
