Virtual Office Hours Yield Dozens of Conversations

The YOU team’s Virtual Office Hours have been a major success, with dozens of one-on-one conversations taking place providing insightful public input into the project.

Talent Davis, a Lead For Poughkeepsie Fellow and Community Engagement Specialist for MASS Design Group, has been leading these Virtual Office Hours conversations on behalf of the team.

Community members, from the City of Poughkeepsie and beyond, are given the opportunity to offer their suggestions and to share their vision of the YOU. Topics have ranged from specific programming within the YOU to the sustainability of the facility.

"Office hours have provided a dynamic opportunity to connect with county residents around the YOU project in order to break down silos and garner feedback!" Davis said.
