Community Connectedness:

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Co-Leader, Julie Redford, rjred@elkrivertv.net

This team will be focusing on improving community communication in general, but will also focus on the creation of a community center. Currently the team is working with some design students from the University of Idaho to develop a proposal that fits the unique needs of the Troy community. The group is interested in learning how members of the community feel about this issue. Do you support the idea? What would you like to see in terms of how the building would be designed and what it would be used for? Please be sure to share your ideas. The next meeting for this group will be on Tuesday, November 13th from 6:30-7:30 at City Hall.

Troy’s Vision for the Future

Monday, October 8th, 2007

At the Troy Horizons visioning rally, which was held on September 18, 2007, residents of Troy were successful at creating a long term vision of what they would like Troy to be like in the future. More than 80 people showed up to participate in the event which was designed to help citizens create a vision statement for Troy’s future and identify action items that will allow residents to work together toward this vision. The resulting vision statement is available for viewing by clicking Vision Statement link to the right.

Rally

Following the rally, interested citizens met again to form Action Teams which will work toward the action items that have been identified. You are invited to become involved by joining one of the Action Teams that has been created. The three Action Teams which were formed will work on developing: 1.) Community Connectedness, 2.) Entrepreneurship, and 3.) solutions for Troy’s water shortage.

Troy Horizons would like to involve as many community members as possible in this process. This is your opportunity to have a say about what you would like to see happen in your community. Your input and contributions are a valuable asset and are much needed. If you have questions about this event or you are interested in attending please contact us at 835-4088.
