What should we focus on in the next 10 years in one or more of the following areas: housing, public facilities & services, open space, recreation, natural resources, historic preservation, and cultural resources?
Need help getting started?
- Public facilities include all town-owned and/or operated buildings like the library, school buildings, senior center, town parks & recreation areas, town hall, fire station, police station, etc
- Public services include public safety services, library services, healthcare services, recreation programs, snow removal, solid waste services, events/activities for your, schools/education, etc
- Housing includes type of housing available, cost of housing, rental and ownership opportunities, housing issues and discrimination, location of housing, etc
- Open space, recreation, & natural resources include wetlands/marsh, trails, the beach, etc
- Historic preservation & cultural resources include the things that you think should be preserved that help make Salisbury the unique community it is (like Ben Butler's Toothpick!)
