Editor, Townsman:
The Andover Town Governance Study Committee has opened another opportunity for public input via the town website.
Concerned that the great majority of residents, for time constraints and other reasons, opt not to participate in either Town Meeting or traditional, structured public input forums, a private Google group open only to residents interested in further discussion of town governance (whether or not we should continue Town Meeting) has been established.
Please email info@andovergovernance.com to learn more, if you are interested in contributing or listening.
