Long Range Planning Committee (Ad Hoc)
I attended the Long-Range Planning meeting on Wednesday, August 3rd.
I had the pleasure of meeting the splendid folks that have volunteered their time efforts to the long-range planning committee. I didn’t have any knowledge regarding the committee, but they were kind enough to inform us about their work.
You should have recently received a Village Community Survey, and hopefully filled it out and returned to the townhall. It is this committee’s task to compile, analyze and discuss the data gathered. They will then make recommendations to inform and guide the Village Council in its planning and decision making for the future of Foxfire.
Sounds like a mighty important assignment.
It was recommended that we look up the committee on the village website for some insight into their purpose. This was excellent advice; the 2012-2017 and 2018-2022 plans can be seen on the village website.
The Long-Range Planning Committee was established in the fall 2009 by the Foxfire Village Council.
For the year 2011
Total surveys: 242
159 homes in the age bracket of 60+
For the year 2017
Total surveys: 119 (estimated by adding responses on first 2 pages)
94 homes in the age bracket of 60+
For the year 2022
700 surveys mailed out
Total surveys returned: 205 (approximately)
140 homes in the age bracket of 60+ (approximately)
Final numbers not verified yet, still in progress.
This process will take months to complete.
Thank you to the Long-Range Planning Committee for all your hard work!
