Mayor Sydnor extends an invitation to all residents to come to a Town Hall Listening Session tomorrow, Thursday, February 6 from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the Municipal Center. And if you’re unable to attend in person, it will be broadcast live through the normal LaurelTV streams (see my Council Meeting post for all the normal links).

The Mayor and members of Council will share some highlights, but the focus is for residents to share their questions, ideas, concerns, suggestions, and more. (It can even be a first opportunity to share thoughts about the full re-write of the City election laws being decided by Council this month.)

Note that the Mayor has structured the event as listening session, so all present will be invited to speak and share their thoughts, but no replies will be given on the spot. Instead, the Mayor will ask members of his administration to compile replies in a report to be issued within sixty days. (I’ll plan to post that report here once it’s released.)

I plan to arrive early and stay late at the session, so please don’t hesitate to come up and introduce yourself and directly share your thoughts and ideas as well – I’m happy to answer any questions I can for you and to follow-up with you on any I don’t know right away. Also feel free email me if you’re unable to make in person – hearing from residents is critical to me in being able to know what’s helpful to make our City even better.

So come on out, if only to meet neighbors and hear what others have to say, but also to add your voice to helping make Laurel a great city to live, work, and play!
