Healthy Communities Partnership Session II

On August 13, 2009, a flurry of activitiy began again to set up for our second HCP session to begin at 6pm that night at the Avon Elementary.  In attendance were 153 people who signed in and sat at 20 tables.  After a welcome from City of Avon Mayor John Grutsch and Township Board Chair Leroy Gondringer, and a historical perspective from Hugh Knox, our facilitator, Nadine Schnettler led the show.

Everyone together created a list of Avon Community Assets, Challenges and Desired Outcome.  These were written on large sheets of paper and taped to the walls of the room.  At the end, everyone voted with sticky dots for their choice of Desired Outcomes.  This information has been tabulated by category and ranked by the number of votes:  of the 80 Desired Outcomes, those with the most votes are:  new grocery store with pharmacy (57), community center with library (56), economic development plan for small businesses (25), retirement or assisted living facility (15), band shell on Zimmer property (15), and new township hall (13).

A total of 43 people volunteered to help with their favorite project.
