Harpers Ferry News and Events

The Water Commission serves in an advisory capacity to assist the Town in carrying out its responsibilities in administering, operating and maintaining the Water Works.  There are currently two openings, one for a resident of Harpers Ferry, the other for a resident of the service area residing outside the corporate limits of Harpers Ferry.  The Water Commission meets the third Thursday of every month in the evening.  If interested, send a letter of interest and qualifications by 3 January 2012 to:   Mayor, PO Box 217, Harpers Ferry WV  25425, or fax 304-535-6520.

On Thursday, 17 November, David Beniamino guided us through the first vision workshop at Mather Training Center.  The meeting was attended by 55 residents and stakeholders.  It was a very friendly and lively session that has started the creation of a list of preferences, likes and dislikes that will guide the future direction of the town.

The Mayor and members of the Town Council are trying very hard to get input from as many people as possible.  There are still more than 200 residents who have not yet provided any information.  The Council members are in the process of documenting the future direction of the town.  They have to make these decisions whether you input your preferences or not.  They would much prefer to have your guidance.

To that end, a second vision workshop will provide another chance to participate.  This session is scheduled for Wednesday, 7 December, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Mather Training Center, where the first Vision Workshop was just held.  If you did not attend the first workshop, please plan to attend this second workshop.  Thank you.
