Commitment Tracker
Every promise we have made in public, in one place. Filter by status. Tap a row for the details and the proof.
The Public Record
A commitment lands here when we say it in public. It leaves the open list when we deliver it and link the proof. Rows marked CBP topic are not promises yet: the town and the project decide them together in the Community Benefits Plan. See something wrong or missing? Tell us. The full record lives in the Engagement Log, and the questions residents asked are answered in Questions and Answers.
