Tony Bianchini and Mike Beson of Open Door Media offered a presentation on the
opportunities for a strategic assessment of how the OARP has and can been marketed to
gain community support and optimal success. Through and overview of the written
proposal with the Board Open Door discussions methods such as targeted media blitzes,
tours of Ewing and increased interaction with State Agencies as a means to promote the
OARP and visibility of Ewing. Commissioner Rose indicates that may of the tasks noted
by Open Door have been performed to a small degree but now the task is how to
communicate it to the public. Commissioner McGee suggests one approach is to
distinguish the Township of Ewing from that of Trenton and distinguish what makes
Ewing special. Chairpersons Kull advises the Board that having requesting a proposal
from Door Media’s is a sign that ETRA is ready to formalize its actions and utilize the
best methods to implement the OARP.

The Board takes no action on the proposal and feels that additional proposals are
warranted prior to making a final determination.
