We need more projects like Commercial Street. She does not feel confident <br /> that her children will be able to stay in Mashpee. She doesn't believe that is just <br /> Mashpee centered, that issue is Cape wide. <br /> Ms. Coleman commented that it was nice to see everyone on the same page as far <br /> as what we believe our community systems are. Zoning bylaws need to be changed. <br /> Town Boards need to coordinate and communicate with one another as far as <br /> reaching that goal. She was not aware of how much unused space Mashpee has. It <br /> was great to see that everyone has an idea of what their goal is. Her goal is to have <br /> her child be able to call this place home. The Cape has the resources but she wishes <br /> the information could be more available to people. She was not aware of some <br /> resources that were available to her. She noted the Town Planner is doing a good <br /> job and his heart is in it. She plans on attending more workshops. <br /> Ms. Baier appreciated the layout of the workshop. They went over what our assets <br /> were so it was able to start out super positive. They discussed culture, housing, <br /> assets and needs, then goals that meet those needs. It struck her when discussing <br /> housing. Everyone agrees it is needed but nobody knows how to talk about it. <br /> Education is huge. Her breakout table had a conversation about the town website <br /> and how it could be updated or made more accessible. She feels hiring a Housing <br /> Coordinator was at the forefront of the conversation. People don't understand the <br /> logistics of how long it takes to go into development as well as the costs. She also <br /> felt that the people who attend are the people who always attend. She wished there <br /> were more people in attendance outside the normality to diversify the room. <br /> Ms. Coleman noted it felt cramped, they would benefit from a larger space. She <br /> would like to think about ways to recruit more people to get involved. <br /> Ms. Pina echoed there were not many people in the room under the age of 50. So <br /> many people are more likely to give their input on the Mashpee Message Facebook <br /> group instead of doing it where it actually matters. You have to be on record at these <br /> meetings or at a workshop. She will post about the workshops on the Mashpee <br /> Message to encourage the people who are maybe being missed, like parents. <br /> Sometimes people feel intimidated in those settings. <br /> Ms. Baier thought it was a very approachable workshop. Breaking down into tiny <br /> groups was helpful and the moderators did a good job. <br /> 3 <br />
