The Pentwater Vision Team is hosting a final public Town Hall meeting on Monday, December 16, 2019, from 5:30pm - 6:30pm at the First Baptist Church of Pentwater, 101 S. Rush St, Pentwater, MI 49449.
Julie Hales Smith, who facilitated our first focus groups and town hall meetings, will review the results of all three surveys given this year: the summer's Pentwater Community Assessment, the Visitor's Poll and the most recent Community Survey.
The results of all three surveys of public input will be used to form a Vision Statement to guide the 2020-2021 Master Plan success.
The Town Hall meeting is being held early so those planning to attend the Pentwater Public Schools' Regular Board Meeting at 7pm may do so.
REMINDER: Students are dismissed at 11:30am on Wednesday, 11/27/19, and there is no school on Thursday or Friday, 11/28-11/29. Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
