The session is intended to serve as an open discussion about concepts for creating a more flexible outdoor public space that could support a variety of community uses and help enhance the vibrancy of the downtown area. Preliminary ideas being explored include outdoor seating and gathering areas that could accommodate activities such as community events, The Farmers Market, live music, movie nights and seasonal celebrations.

Town officials emphasized that the meeting is intended to encourage public participation and community feedback early in the process as ideas continue to evolve.

Everyone is invited to learn more about the concepts, share suggestions, ideas and concerns, and take part in the conversation.

Individuals unable to attend the meeting may also submit comments and suggestions in writing by emailing comments@shepherdstown.gov or by delivering comments directly to Town Hall (104 N. King St., Shepherdstown).

Questions regarding the event may be directed to Karl Musser at Town Hall at (304) 876-2312 or kmusser@shepherdstown.gov.
