On Wednesday, July 29th, Westborough Connects brought together community partners and stakeholders for their first Community Action Planning Workshop. Amanda Decker from Bright Solutions facilitated the workshop, with Kendall Bennett and Michael Ricci from Trendline Analysis presenting local data and insights. It was a valuable day of discussion and collaboration, giving participants the opportunity to assess community needs related to prevention, identify priorities, and explore ways to strengthen connections and build partnerships across the community.
