UPDATE: Residents of Farragut are invited to an urgent educational workshop on town planning and codes this Thursday, October 30, 2023, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Town Hall boardroom. This is a vital opportunity for community members to understand how municipal planning impacts their lives.
The Community Development Department, led by Mark Shipley, is organizing this free session to enhance transparency and foster public engagement. No prior registration is required, making it easy for all interested residents to participate immediately.
This one-hour workshop will cover essential topics, including zoning regulations, building codes, and upcoming projects that could affect the community. Participants will also have the chance to provide feedback on how they currently receive planning information—whether through town meetings, the official website, or local news outlets.
The session aims to address how the town can improve communication channels, an initiative that has become increasingly important as residents seek greater involvement in local governance. Shipley emphasized that this interactive format is designed not only to inform but to empower citizens to voice their opinions directly to town officials.
According to the community alert released on October 16, these workshops are part of an ongoing effort to create dialogue between Farragut’s residents and local government. Engaging with the community is crucial for shaping future developments and ensuring that citizens’ needs are met.
Don’t miss this chance to have your voice heard and gain insights into the workings of your town. Mark your calendars for October 30 and join your neighbors at Town Hall to contribute to the future of Farragut. This is a significant step towards ensuring that every resident has a say in the planning processes that affect their daily lives.
