CT EAST HAMPTON — POCD Steering Committee emphasizes implementation and accountability in planning overhaul. Chair Juliet Hodge led discussion of public input summary showing consensus on village revitalization and school challenges but disagreement on mechanisms like infrastructure investment and density; the committee noted the 2016 plan was not implemented and stressed the need for clear prioritization, inter-commission coordination, and quarterly reporting to the Town Council rather than another aspirational document. An outside consultant will facilitate a visioning session beginning in early June, and the committee approved prior minutes unanimously while noting the plan is now one to two months behind schedule.
