A big thanks to everyone who participated last week in our conversation about the county economy. If you were not able to attend or thought of something after the fact, you can participate online at the Community Conversation Blog, until it closes at the end of the business day Thursday, April 11. You can also read what other islanders are saying about their vision for the future county economy.

We are getting the report-outs from the meetings posted online, as well. The island-specific summaries are up now, and the county-wide summary will go up once the blog has closed.

If you have found these conversations informative, please bring a friend or two to our final set of meetings next week: Tuesday 16 on Orcas, Wednesday 17 on Lopez, and Thursday 18 on San Juan.
