Subject: [Hartford] Help Shape Hartford's Response to the Affordability Crisis

Join the Hartford Selectboard and members of the Resilient Hartford Committee, Committee on Housing and Homelessness, and Energy Commission for a brainstorming session on affordability.

Like many communities, Hartford is feeling the pressure of rising costs. This session is a chance to help identify concrete actions the Town can take to ease the cost of living
and doing business here. We'll explore ways we can act now as well as longer-term strategies that address root causes.

We want to hear from you! Bring your lived experience, ideas, and questions, and help us create a shortlist of promising actions for analysis and follow-through.

Who: All Hartford residents and business owners are welcome!

When: August 12, 2026, 6:00 PM
