Breaking the Complaint Cycle: Municipal Planning and Resident Engagement

We invite you to participate in a free panel discussion for municipal staff, elected officials, and community organizations. Sponsored by Greater Carlisle Heart & Soul Project, Cumberland County Historical Society and the Cumberland Conservation Collaborative, this discussion is designed to provide information and examples of engagement that breaks the complaint cycle and positively connects community members and organizations to the municipal planning process. Panelists will share lessons learned and strategies to benefit your community and make the planning process more efficient. Following the panelist’s discussion our moderator will lead a period of audience dialogue to share experiences and ideas.
