VISION SESSIONS TO BE HELD JUNE 16 AND 30
Blossburg V.I.B.E. to Create Vision Statement, Action Plan
BLOSSBURG, May 21 — Residents of Blossburg and surrounding communities will gather to create a vision for Blossburg’s future two evenings in June at the Blossburg Memorial Library.
To be held June 16 and 30, 6-9 pm, the sessions are sponsored by Blossburg Visions in Business & Entertainment, a new group created as a joint project of Blossburg Borough Council and Blossburg Improvement Association.
Blossburg V.I.B.E. members have invited anyone who lives, works, plays or attends school in Blossburg, especially residents of Blossburg Borough and Bloss and Hamilton townships, the primary users of Blossburg’s downtown.
The sessions are intended to incorporate ideas from a wide range of community participants, with fun exercises and small group discussions resulting in a collaborative, consensus-based vision.
Blossburg V.I.B.E. will use the sessions to develop a vision statement and an action plan in preparation for submitting grant proposals to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and other funding sources. The grants are to provide resources for projects developed through the vision session process.
