from the consultant.</span></div>

our last public meeting, we are working on a draft to present to the steering committee first, later this month. If all goes well there, we will most likely start hearings for adoption in January (January the 10th is the first option). We had considered an
additional public meeting but realized the majority of major issues and ideas were discussed at our November public meeting. That being said, we will always welcome written comments. You can submit them through the website contact information or you can send
them directly to me (consultant) at <a href="mailto:wmoeller@compasspointplanning.com" target="_blank">wmoeller@compasspointplanning.com</a>. I am working on the draft tomorrow and Wednesday to send out to the committee later this week so comments today or tomorrow will be great but don't feel rushed. There is still plenty of
time to get comments even after an initial draft."</span></span></div>

<div>Dear Green friends,<br>
<br>
I am overstating the matter, but it’s almost like Marietta is holding a Sustainability Forum for us!<br>
<br>
On December 12, from 6-8 p.m., in the cafeteria of the WCC campus on Colegate Avenue: Reimagine Marietta will kick off with a public meeting to start a new comprehensive plan! I plan to attend if I can. (I am so busy and stressed right now…. Don’t know how
I’m going to get my work work done, let alone holiday shopping. And then there’s the completely plugged drain beneath the concrete slab in my basement that Tim and I tackled last night, but we’re going to make sure it’s clear and very open later this evening.
Ugh. Ew.). Please visit <a href="http://reimaginemarietta.com" target="_blank">reimaginemarietta.com</a>. <br>
<br>
If we have a vocal contingent calling for sustainability and resilience, plans for alternative transportation, EV charging stations, bike lanes, community solar power, cooperatives…. I mean, at least in theory, we green visionaries can shape the future of our
community!! What an opportunity!!!<br>
<br>
I hope to see you at the meeting (and the day before at FUUSM).<br>
<br>
