Helping Darnestown Stay Informed and Involved
Part of the DCA’s role is helping our neighbors understand the issues, projects and decisions that affect Darnestown. We gather information, connect residents with local leaders and decision-makers, and create opportunities for you to ask questions, share your perspective and advocate for what matters to you.
The DCA generally does not take a position on community issues unless there is a Town Hall vote on it. Instead, we work to provide useful information and give different voices in our community a place to be heard. We want everyone to feel heard and supported.
