Community Development

Ward Listening Sessions


Community Development Department staff will hold individual Listening Sessions for each Ward in Keene. The sessions are open to the public, and we encourage people to drop in any time.  This is not a typical meeting format with any presentation, but an opportunity to meet staff one-on-one and share concerns, ideas, and general feedback. Staff will have information about current projects and initiatives including things like land use regulations, property & housing standards, building codes, the Master Plan update, and the Keene Community Power Program.
