Community Center Initiative meets monthly at the Hoosic Valley High School – will be in Late May after budget/board vote. CCI is a grass roots group from the northern Rensselaer County with a broad focus on preparing for the future of the Schaghticoke area. We are currently in the survey phase and meeting to discuss the data we are getting and then move to the next steps. A survey for the community can be found at the link below. Surveys are distributed through Parents Space and to high school students 7- 12th grade through their social studies class. We want every voice to be heard. Besides the survey work CCI is interested in seeking land, support, and acknowledgment.To complete a survey for the community center initiative go to: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScryNX66jRhFOM3IzynmPPoVLtHDLUneyChupfLvIouhQArug/viewform
