The CBP program believes in a community-centered approach to the planning process.  The student team held two community meetings at the Seymour Middle School in order to gather public input.  Surveys and cameras were also distributed to steering committee members and other members of the Seymour community.  Together the information gathered from the public was used as the guide and framework for the comprehensive plan.  The photos below are from the community meetings.
