Welcome to the Mirror Pond Project
You are invited to participate in developing a plan to address the build up of silt and future maintenance of Mirror Pond. A number of alternate plans (visions) will be developed with your help through a community outreach program intended to find a single broadly supported plan (vision) that will guide immediate and long-term responses to the silt deposits. The final 'preferred plan' (vision) will be used in fund raising, construction plans, and permitting efforts needed to make your final plan a reality.
Step 1: Identify Public Values and Priorities Associated with Mirror Pond
Step 2: Identify Immediate and Long Term Strategies (Visions) to Address the Build-up of Silt
Step 3: Identify a Preferred Strategy (Vision) for Immediate and Long Term Actions
The launch of this website was followed by a series of public meetings that provided project background, invited questions from the public, and reviewed future 'plans' (visions). A Questionnaire was created to gather information about what the general community values most about Mirror Pond. Look for the results of that Questionnaire on this website after Feburary 28th, 2013.
