Hi RRE members and friends,

At our Large Group Meeting on Wednesday, Dec 1 2021, we realized we have a lot to learn about Richmond Town policies and ordinances that can affect our Town’s inclusion, diversity, and equitable opportunities relating to those who historically have not been included. We decided to collect our questions first and then ask for support in learning the answers.

I have set up a Google Doc with access to all who have the link below. Please take the time to post your own questions before our next meeting on January 5 2022. If you have questions about this, feel free to email me at RichmondCove@comcast.net. I have started this list off with a question of my own, feel free to add and to organize the list as best helps you.
