Town Survey, word cloud

I spent some time reviewing the Town Survey this morning, trying to make sense of it all .... And was particularly intrigued by the "public comments" section.

There seemed to be a lot of topics that came up again and again, so I plugged the text into something called a "word cloud" ... which displays all the words, increasing their size based on how much they're used. Pretty interesting.

  1. This is pretty cool Drew. I have visited it a few times and shared it with coworkers. Whats next? I note the sidewalks have been walkable so far this winter. Thanks to those responsible for its upkeep.

  2. Hi Drew - just curious - is there a timeline for the drafting of the "new" town plan, and how can I put in my two cents? Thanks!
