The Town of Easton is proud to announce that their new interactive web platform, “Engage Easton,” is now live and ready for the public to explore. This new digital space allows the public to view, interact with, and give meaningful feedback on upcoming and current projects going on around Easton.
The platform was chosen by the Town’s Planning and Zoning Department as a way to inform and engage with the local community on important planning issues such as the Comprehensive Plan update, and the East End Small Area Plan. It allows for direct feedback to project leaders, interactive maps, polls, surveys, media galleries, and more.
“Engage Easton gives us a new, faster way to tap into our communities, get feedback on relevant projects, and establish a place for discussion with our neighbors,” said Miguel Salinas, Director of Planning and Zoning for the Town of Easton. “It’s a perfect tool for our department, but we realize there’s so much utility here for other departments as well. Engineering, Public Works, Parks and Recreation — there is tons of opportunity for this to grow across our organization.”
The Town currently has six projects up and available for the public to view and give feedback on, and will continue to add projects to their roster as they develop.
“We’ve added in some major projects going on around Town, but one thing we are excited about is having interactive maps for commercial and residential pipelines,” added Salinas. “This way the public can see what projects are currently in development around Easton with an easy to use map right at their fingertips.”
The site is live now, and interested parties can view projects and give their thoughts at https://engage.eastonmd.gov/.
