• The Envision Watertown 2013 MindMixer website was recently updated to include new questions, or "topics".  This new series of topics will be changed every month so keep checking back.

Additionally, you can post photos of things you appreciate here or would like to see in Watertown from other places and explain why they are important to you. So many people have participated on this website that MindMixer told us that this project is among the top 3 most active ones in the country!

• The project website will soon include the updated vision and goals statements, as well as drafts of the plan elements as they are prepared over the next few months.

• Stay tuned, there will be another public forum this Fall.
