Public Participation

To a large degree, the success of the Central York County Connections Study (CYCCS) will rely on how well the public understands and supports the study process and recommendations.

Achieving public support requires an understanding by everyone involved that study outcomes and recommendations cannot be predetermined by any party, either before or during the study. This is a challenge, because most people want to move quickly towards solutions. However, it is crucial that we all adopt a wait-and-see attitude regarding final results until enough evidence is gathered to guide us to the best solutions for the region.

To help the public support the study process and its ultimate recommendations, a transparent and interactive public outreach process will be a key part of the study.

Study meetings are open to any member of the public who wants to observe, and detailed minutes of each and every meeting will be available on the study website. The study website will be easy to understand and updated often. A link to a special interactive section will make it easy for everyone to participate and offer opinions.

Regular updates on the study’s progress will be available through the media, the website, and direct emails to those who sign up. And finally, a direct cell phone line to study staff member Carol Morris is available to anyone who has a question or wants to make a comment: 207-329-6502.
