Consolidated Plan Survey Ends March 24| |
The City of Hagerstown’s Community Development Department is asking Hagerstown residents to complete a survey which will assist in updating the City’s Five Year Consolidated Plan. The survey is being mailed in electric bills this month and is available on-line at www.hagerstownmd.org.
The Five Year Consolidated Plan is a planning document required by HUD that sets overall goals and priorities for housing, community development and economic development activities.
“The City is seeking input from residents regarding the condition, the needs of the City and what should be the priorities and objectives for the next plan,” stated Larry Bayer, Director of Community Development. “Feedback from this survey will assist in determining the City needs, goals and strategies. This survey takes approximately five minutes to complete.”
The surveys are available on-line and are being mailed in the electric bills. Citizens who do not receive one can call 301-739-8577 ext. 136, or stop by the Community Development Department on the fourth floor of City Hall.
“Our department believes that the opinions of citizens are essential in updating the Five Year Consolidated,” explained Mr. Bayer. “We encourage all residents to take five minutes and complete the survey, and we thank you for your cooperation in advance.”
The survey deadline is midnight on Wednesday, March 24, 2010.

Volunteers of all ages are invited to meet at the lower parking lot behind Hager Hall located at 901 Dual Highway for the Clean Up. A family-friendly cookout/after party will be held for volunteers from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Cancun Cantina.
Volunteers will be assigned to clean up trash or sort recyclables at various locations on Dual Highway and throughout Washington County. Each volunteer will be eligible to enter a raffle to win great prizes. All donations received will benefit the Community Action Council.
Volunteers are asked to wear work boots or heavy duty shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. They will also be required to sign a release waiver.
According to Jamie Wainwright, one of the Antietam Clean Up organizers, "The Antietam Cleanup is part of a service project for the Hagerstown Community College. We really wanted it to be done by the community for the community. The great part is that the cleanup will be a win-win because its purpose is two-fold: volunteers will help clean-up Hagerstown and any donations received will go to the Washington County Community Action Council to help individuals and families in need.”
