#BTV #VT – Today is the six-month anniversary of launching Front Porch Forum in a particular small town. Here’s a report from a satisfied user…
I swear the whole town smiles when FPF is mentioned. We have been watching quite a thing on this end. Skeptical folks have become “converts”- all that skepticism just melted away.
Our town manager told me he tells other town managers to “get an FPF of your own”. He tells them “you need this!”… He’s a one-man advertising department for FPF.
I think that FPF comes up at almost every town and village meeting.
Good stuff. I think everyone is seeing changes in our town.
