Hancock residents invited to express views at Feb. 26 Citizens' Forum

HANCOCK -- Hancock residents are encouraged to attend a Citizens' Forum from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26, at the Lakeview Manor Community Room to discuss their major concerns about the city.

At previous community and ward meetings residents have expressed their desire for such things as better access to the waterfront, better-maintained parks and beach, a safer and more easily walkable and bikeable city, less street lighting and less sprawling development. Falling revenues to the city, and rising costs, have made it increasingly difficult to meet citizens’ needs.

The goal of this meeting is to develop recommendations to the City Council, which will begin its budget-planning in March. Residents are invited to this Forum to discuss how the 2009 budget can successfully meet citizens’ needs and priorities. For more information call 482-5413.
