Dear Editor:
RE: Erin approves bid for 3 major strategic plan studies, Dec 13.
Many residents of Hillsburgh and Erin look forward to the “robust” public consultation our town leaders are promising as we develop a new Strategic Plan in early 2019.
Thank you to the new town council for expressing support at its first meeting on Dec. 5 to include environment and climate change as fundamental pillars going forward. If the Town of Erin is indeed gearing up for “exponential growth” starting in three to five years – as the Oct. 15 RFP for the Strategic Plan stated – then “future ready” must surely be built on a firm foundation of resilience and sustainability to meet the challenges of the wild and unpredictable climate ride ahead of us, particularly for the sake of our kids and their future.
Liz Armstrong,
Erin
