Without farms and people who grow our food, we'd be a poor place to live. Isn't it wonderful that we have young farmers coming along, and so many organic farms? Yeah, us! What would it take to help all our farms adopt organic practices?

I think Concord should start with human "sustainability." How about having a town wide lunch walk, a morning yoga stretch in each town center, thinking about the drinks and refreshments we serve at functions? How about getting into the habit of always bringing our own eating and drinking implements instead of expecting a disposable plate?

I like events more than specific facilities. I being with others when I celebrate the 4th or listen to music....

I belong to the Thoreau Club, and that's the only facility I enjoy, but I try and walk everywhere a lot, I bike often.....

It would be a dream to have everything accessible by foot from each neighborhood -- libraries, food markets -- not realistic though.

More parks with benches. A finished bicycle path! More community vegetable gardens (maybe some right in town centers). Also, and this seems contrary to the suggestions above here, more parking for retail shopping (particularly in West Concord).

Would be nice to have every neighborhood a mixture of different style homes, different sizes, different price points. Would be nice to have support for those who live in town but can't maintain a neat yard, a vegetable garden.

As a retailer, I think vibrant town centers are important. Independent retailers should be cherished, because we are a dying breed that makes one want to walk main streets. We're the ones who support fundraising and school events, aren't we?
As for economic development, anything that will protect our environment, our diversity, our humanity would be perfect for a town like Concord. Also anything that steps into a Star-Trek tech world!

I'd love to see potlucks made legal so the town could have periodic potlucks to bring community together. Imagine what fun that would be! And, since we talk about citizens biking, let's put bike racks around all town centers. More dialogue between business and town residents so each can more appreciate and support the other.
