Jacksonholenews.com: Community members working on the best way to address Latino growth in Teton County have identified priorities such as getting facts straight, breaking down language barriers and engaging in cross-cultural activities.
About 75 people have been meeting in five small groups for the last six weeks to develop the best plans for dealing with the “challenges and opportunities” presented by a growing Latino population. They presented their conclusions at a forum Tuesday night.
“We tried to develop concrete actions that are really implementable,” said Jen Daniels, a landscape architect and meeting facilitator for the Center for Resolution. “We tried to stay focused on things we know we can do in this community.”
The Jackson Town Council sponsored the discussion.
“There’s no time like the present to start a dialogue in earnest,” Mayor Mark Barron said. “And to recognize that our community is changing.”
