A task force of twenty-six residents and community stakeholders have been meeting over the last seven months to develop options for community spaces in Carver. The final Community Spaces Task Force Report will be presented to the City Council at their Tuesday, February 21 meeting at 7 pm.  The report will have options to consider for the basic repair of Village Hall, repair and renovation of City Hall/Village Hall, and the construction of a new combined City Hall/Village Hall.  The task force created and used a set of “guiding principles” (shown below) to assist them in evaluating options and discussing community needs.  

The presentation of the Community Spaces Task Force Report will serve as a “kick-off” for a community dialogue designed to provide the City Council with perspectives, priorities, and feedback from all residents and community stakeholders on this issue.
