Details
- All Keene residents are invited. (Children must be supervised.)
- There is no set agenda or live streaming for the listening sessions. Typically, they start with a round of introductions followed by open discussion where you and your neighbors can discuss ideas and concerns. City staff are there to listen and share information.
- Please use the online Ward and Polling Location Map to determine which ward you live in.
- We welcome feedback and ideas any time. Please contact us directly at (603) 352-5440 or email communitydevelopment@keenenh.gov. You can also mail a comment to us at 3 Washington Street, Keene NH 03431, submit a complaint online, or submit an issue via SeeClickFix.
Staff will take notes at each listening session and will share major themes, concerns, and ideas with City leadership. Unless permission is explicitly granted, staff will not identify specific individuals when reporting out on major themes. Some specific concerns may be shared with other City departments, such as the Public Works Department to address a broken light fixture or Parks and Recreation to address a park-related concern.
