Couldn't make it to the October 19 Community Engagement Open House at Bluffton Middle School? There is now an online version of the dot polls and poster questions from this event.
Organizers at the Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission shared, "Thank you to all those who attended the Community Engagement Open House. With the help of close to 100 adults and a dozen or so youth, a good time was had by all, and lots of great ideas and feedback were exchanged.
"If you weren’t able to stop in and share your thoughts on the 19th, please take a moment and complete the final survey now! This is your LAST CHANCE to give input before the Bluffton: Beyond Tomorrow Plan is finalized! Help Bluffton create a Vision for its future that fits the needs of all of its people."
