We want to hear ideas from young people about the future of Somerville. Teens are invited to share their thoughts and concerns about important topics like housing, education, and job training and access at a SomerVision 2040 Youth Forum on Wednesday, July 31, at 5 p.m., in the Central Library auditorium, 79 Highland Ave. SomerVision 2040 is an ongoing effort to reexamine and update Somerville’s comprehensive plan – SomerVision. The community-developed plan set priorities around many issues, including housing, open space, transportation, sustainability, the local economy, and education.
