Six Focus Groups were held on January 29 and 30, 2024. These 90-minute facilitated sessions explored the key themes that had arisen through the process so far.<\/p>

The Focus Group sessions helped to synthesize community input from the engagement process, and to explore a set of crucial questions. The Focus Group sessions mirrored the final Strategic Pillars within the final City of Essex Junction Community Vision and Strategic Action Plan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
