Public Hearing: Hartford Young Professionals Taskforce
Notice is a bit short, but information about this hearing was just sent to liveinhartford:
The e-mail that was forwarded to liveinhartford (courtesy of Emily) is, thankfully, much more energetic than the official announcement:
Is this task force associated with HYPE (Hartford Young Professionals and Entrepreneurs)? A quick Web search didn't come up with anything called Young Professionals Task Force. If anyone has more info, let me know!
Sounds like it could be an interesting hearing. I think I'm on the cusp of "young" and "less young" but I'd like to hear what people have to say. (Bonus: I can hand out little pieces of paper with the blog address on them!)
Maybe I'll see you there?

Hi all,
Help me out! Come to a meeting at City Hall in Hartford this Tuesday from 6 - 7:30 pm. Here's why:
I'm
on a task force charged with identifying tangible ways to improve the
city of Hartford for young professionals. We've decided to hold a
public hearing this Tuesday at 6 pm at Hartford City Hall to listen to
whatever young professionals have to say about the city--whether they
live here or work here or live and work in the burbs and wouldn't think
of coming into town. We want to know why.
I
regret that this hasn't been well publicized and apologize further for
the short notice. But I'd very much appreciate it if you'd take the
time to come out and offer your two cents. We'll have people speak for
3 or 4 minutes or so about whatever they have to say about Hartford.
We think this will be a great opportunity to document what folks are
thinking. At the end of this process (6 months from now) the Task
Force will issue a report to the city (and share it with the state)
about how to attract and retain talented young people in Hartford.

I believe this is a task force set up by the City Council and headed by Matt Ritter...
