The Envisioning Future Holliston Committee will hold its strategic planning kick-off meeting on March 1 at 7 p.m. The meeting will take place in the Holliston Select Board room at Town Hall and can also be accessed via Zoom. 

The public is welcome to arrive between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. to meet and mingle with representatives from BerryDunn, the consultant chosen to develop “a community-based 5-year town-wide strategic plan, including a community vision for 2030,” as stated in the town’s Request for Proposals. 

At this meeting, Waltham-based BerryDunn will lay out their plans including a timeline. The language in the RFP states the strategic plan should be completed within 10 months from the award date.
