Communications & Community Engagement

Communications & Community Engagement in Kittery

We believe effective communication means improving our community’s access to timely, accurate and helpful information about the Town and its services and providing accessible, meaningful ways to engage throughout the Town's decision making process.

Through strategic, consistent, credible communications, the Town of Kittery can improve and strength communication and engagement with the community by:

Encouraging informed participation

By providing reliable and relevant information consistently, the Town can create a trusted dialogue with the community and empower the public to more confidently engage and get involved.

Demonstrating the value of Town services

The more the community knows about the connection between the services the Town provides and the quality of life within the community, as well as the issues that Town government solves for the community, the more they can understand how their tax dollars are used. 

Build more trust in each other and in local government

Good communication and meaningful public engagement enhances understanding and respect.  It inspires confidence that problems can be solved - together.  By making community engagement a priority, and identifying opportunities to integrate community feedback in our processes, we can build a greater trust and confidence in our Town.
