APPENDIX B-2: INITIAL COMMUNITY FORUM
The Task Force organized an initial community forum at the Junior High School on
February 10, 2000 to kick-off the open space planning process. About 130-140 people
attended this event. Refreshments and pastries for this forum and the ones that followed
were provided at reduced cost by Wild Oats Bakery. The Times Record produced at cost
a 4 page newspaper insert, which included a fold-out map of all existing parks and open
spaces in Brunswick.
The event opened with a brief presentation by the Task Force. The audience then worked
in small groups on a series of assignments. The results of the first assignment were shared
at the end. A written report was produced of this forum by Planning Decisions and was
mailed to each participant. It was also posted on the task force website.
