Volunteers Sought for Envision Cambridge Working Groups

The City of Cambridge is seeking volunteers to serve on four, newly formed Envision Cambridge Working Groups. The Working Groups will be convened around the following topics: Housing, Climate and Environment, Economic Development, and Transportation. 

The Working Groups are being created to advise the city and its consultant team on Envision Cambridge. Envision Cambridge is a community-wide process to develop a comprehensive plan for a more livable, sustainable, and equitable Cambridge. With input from the community, Envision Cambridge will create a shared vision for our future and result in recommendations on a broad range of topics. The Working Groups will be tasked with developing topic-specific recommendations towards goals identified during the planning process.

Who is Eligible?

Any Cambridge resident, property owner, or representative of a local business or institution is welcome to apply. The city seeks individuals with experience, expertise, and interest in the specific topic for which they are applying for.

How Often Will the Groups Meet?

Working groups will meet approximately five times during the first half of 2017. Meetings are expected to commence in January.

How Many People Will Be Selected?

Each Working Group will consist of approximately 9-11 people and include at least one member from the Envision Cambridge Advisory Committee.
