While employment is clearly a Town and regional area of activity, the neighborhood seeks to support and give special emphasis to planning for employment of its citizens.

The objectives are:

1. To maximize the number of neighborhood citizens employed.
2. To achieve at least 75 percent employment of the working population in activities that they find at least 75 percent satisfying.
3. To assure work opportunities for at least 50 percent of the youth of the neighborhood.
4. To maximize opportunities for advances in employment in responsibility, required knowledge or skills, and satisfaction.
5. To minimize the 5-year variance in unemployment.
6. To maximize the number of citizens amply protected by medical and unemployment insurance.
7. To maximize the meaningful work and service opportunities for the elderly citizens of the neighborhood.
8. To maximize the meaningful work and service opportunities for the handicapped citizens of the neighborhood.
9. To achieve diverse employment opportunities such that no more than 40 percent of the employment in the neighborhood and contiguous communities is by one employer.

We plan to work with the Human Resources Office of the Town, Municipal Building, 300 South Main St..
