Fairport Forward
Fairport Forward explores what the Village can become, how it can grow, and how the community can help shape its future. Each episode takes a deeper look at the ideas, values, and opportunities that can move Fairport forward while staying true to the spirit that defines it.
What Makes Fairport, Fairport?
In our first episode of Fairport Forward, hosts Johnna McCooey and Amy Olds introduce the podcast and explain why they wanted to start this series now —before any grant decision — so the community’s ideas and feedback don’t stay buried in a spreadsheet. This episode highlights key themes that emerged from public engagement events, including what people love most about Fairport, what’s behind the “Fairport Feeling,” and how we can honor what people love while planning responsibly for the future.
