Community Invited to Share Thoughts at Final Lunchtime Conversations About Open Spaces

Members of the local community are invited to share their thoughts and ideas at the final wrap-up session of the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce’s “Lunchtime Conversations About Open Spaces” on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.

The fourth in the series, “Where Do We Go from Here?” will be facilitated by Laura Lehan of Peak Consulting. It will begin at 12 p.m. at Luminous Brewhouse in Sheridan.

Coordinated by the Chamber’s Ag & Natural Resources Committee, each of the previous three sessions featured a panel of representatives from area businesses and organizations who jumpstarted the topic of conversation with the audience. In this final session, the discussion will focus on information shared at the prior three meetings and how to move forward with ways the community can assist in securing and protecting our open spaces.

“In this final session, it is vital for members of the community to bring their thoughts and ideas about how we can continue to balance use of our open spaces into the future,” said Dixie Johnson, CEO of the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce. “Open spaces are essential to our community’s economy and culture, and we welcome all voices to weigh in.”

Participants are welcome to bring lunch. There is no cost to attend the series, and all are welcome.
