Cultural Council approves new resident survey

Cultural Council · Meeting of October 2, 2026

CLINTON — The Clinton Cultural Council approved a new resident survey and confirmed $12,200 available for fiscal 2027 grants. Council member Laura presented a trimmed-down community survey, drawn from state Local Cultural Council templates, that the group approved unanimously after debating question order to boost completion rates. Members reported eight grant applications filed ahead of the October 15 deadline and said they will vote on grant awards before Thanksgiving.

Working through the state's online account form with figures from Town Hall fiscal contact Diane, the council calculated an $18,655.43 account balance as of June 30, 2026, and $453.71 in local revenue. Council member Christy, reviewing the figures, said "this is very confusing" and suggested the state consolidate its reporting into a single sheet.
