Community members will be encouraged and empowered to share authentic, factual information about Township initiatives, events, and general community issues to promote transparency, inclusivity, and participation while also providing vetted, factual information to the community. 

Goals

  • Increase awareness of programs and services
  • Highlight local events
  • Encourage civic engagement and volunteerism
  • Foster a sense of pride and connection in the community
  • Dispel rumors and misinformation while providing Township-backed answers

This is a pilot program that will grow organically through community participation.  The program will cease if participation is not thriving, active, positive, motivational, or engaging.
