A Town Hall Meeting on the Future of Viroqua
Saturday, February 22nd, from 6:30-8:30pm
The Commons, Viroqua
Viroqua, our beloved community, is experiencing unprecedented growth and change. While growth and change can be positive, they must be stewarded wisely. Elected officials and business associations typically guide this process, but it’s crucial to consider where and when and how the rest of the community can participate.
How can we ensure that the voices of the farmers, tradespeople, healers, activists, environmentalists, educators, and spiritual and religious leaders who have made Viroqua into the destination it is today, get to be heard?
Key leaders in the community are being invited to come, listen, and respond to the thoughts, ideas, and perspectives of “we the people.”
The structure of the meeting will be centered on three main questions:
What do you love about Viroqua that you want to protect?
Do you have a vision for Viroqua?
Do you have concerns about the direction Viroqua is taking?
FORMAT:
Those who wish to make their voices heard will have 3 minutes to present their ideas and opinions.
Sharing will be followed by an open discussion.
Postcards will be provided to record your anonymous responses to these 3 questions, which will be compiled and shared with community leadership.
Come to The Commons on February 22 at 6:30pm to meet your neighbors and engage in lively dialogue to help us learn from each other, strengthen connections, and create an inspiring future.
…And if you’ve been thinking about joining our We The People workshop (2/20-2/23 at The Commons), there are still spaces available! Find out more here:
