Sustainability Committee Needs Your Feedback

By now all Bettertonians should have received an invitation to complete a survey on where the Jewel should go with respect to seeking grants for sustainable community projects. Mayor and Council have assembled a team headed by Joe Stock and Kim Kohl to attempt to have Betterton declared as a Sustainable Community  and thereby be eligible to seek grants for a variety of projects. Joe and Kim and their team are reaching out to each and everyone in the Jewel to determine just what's important to YOU.  Thanks to assistance from Annette Green each of you should have received an online link to a "Survey Monkey" poll explaining just what areas sustainability covers and asking for your insights.  If you haven't received this yet or you are uncomfortable with online surveys you can visit Annette during normal business hours at the Town Office and get a printed copy of the survey to complete or just email her at info@townofbetterton.com. Joe and Kim's team have come up with some interesting options from bluff restoration to ferry service to and from Aberdeen but perhaps you have others such as the chicken concept in the New York Times (check this out)
