Last Saturday, on a beautiful fall day, 15 residents met in the lobby of Amherst House. Over coffee and doughnuts we introduced ourselves then set out to walk the boundary of the village center and discuss what we saw and wanted to see in the future. The following chronicles the walk and shows issues that we identified. Thank you to the residents that took time to walk through our community and share their insights. The planning process is just starting and open to all. We hope to hear from you!
The village board will appoint the Kings Contrivance Village Center Community Plan committee at their December 7th meeting. If you are interested in serving, please send a letter of interest to Amherst House.
