TwinCities.com has highlighted the EditMe site planforafton.editme.com in an article released yesterday. The site was built to collect community input on the Afton Comprehensive Plan - a document outlining a vision and strategy for the Minnesota suburb by Community Growth Institute. The article quotes Community Growth Institute President Charles Marohn: "This is the most democratic way we could find to allow everyone with a thought or idea to add it to the discussion going on to shape Afton's vision for the future." The article continues:
It made sense to test the Wiki concept in Afton because the city's population is largely connected online, is passionate about their community and "a little burned out from a history of poor planning processes," Marohn said. "I'm optimistic this will give residents the opportunity they are looking for to really take control and guide the future of their city."
