Parting Thoughts
I've been privileged to work alongside so many of you on issues that are critical to our community. I'm excited to talk with you about how we advance policy solutions to keep our city moving forward, particularly in the areas of workforce, housing, infrastructure, safety, and sustaining social capital.
Looking forward to talking with each of you on the topics you find most important to Keene's future. See you on August 7 at 5:30 p.m. for our announcement.
Sincerely,
Jay Kahn
