Press Release & Public Notice

THREE MORE ELECTION REDISTRICTING PUBLIC FORUMS REMAIN ON SALISBURY CITY COUNCIL SCHEDULE

The Salisbury City Council reminds the public that there are still opportunities to participate in public forums on the election redistricting effort the City is undertaking for its local elections, as a result of the changes in city population reported by the 2010 Census. The Mayor hosted one such meeting in February, and the Council has held two so far in March.

The next meetings for public participation as Salisbury locations are:

Tuesday, March 27, 2012 – 6:30 p.m. – Harvest Baptist Church, corner of South Boulevard and Eastern Shore Drive

Thursday, March 29, 2012 – 6:30 p.m. – Fire Station #16 Training Room, Cypress Street

Monday, April 2, 2012 – 12:30 p.m. – Council Chambers (Room 301) of the Government Office Building, 125 North Division Street.

The public will learn about redistricting principles, may ask questions, can look at statistic-driven maps and provide information and feedback to the council about their neighborhoods (e.g., geographic boundaries, cohesiveness based on economics, race, shared interests, cultures or other factors, etc.)

Comments or questions may also be submitted to all City Council members via email, ALLCityCouncilMembers@ci.salisbury.md.us, or by mail to Salisbury City Council Members, 125 N. Division St., Salisbury, MD 21801. For more information, contact Kim Nichols in the City Clerk’s office’s at (410) 548-3140.
