Public Outreach and Input Meetings
During late April and early May 2004, three public outreach and three public input meetings were held on different days of the week at Cornell firehouse, Medway Grapeville firehouse and Town Hall.
New Baltimore Now - At the public outreach meetings participants were presented with information to help them understand where we are as a community and where we are headed. This information was drawn from census and town records and included information about population, income, building and subdivision permits, town finances and more.

New Baltimore Future - Participants also viewed a video called "Community of Choices" that hlped us to understand the choices that communities can make and emphasized the point that a community can both grow and protect the things that make it special.

Public Input on Image - One key point from the video is that the image of a community is vitally important to its economic well being. At the public outreach meetings people were asked to provide input about the image of New Baltimore. To view a summary of input on image - click here.
