Exeter, RI residents gathered for a meeting of the Borderlands Project, during which they used keypad polling to take a survey about Exeter's "places of the heart." The “visioning” session was part of the Borderlands Project, a privately funded experiment in helping rural communities along the mostly forested border shared by Rhode Island and Connecticut. The pilot team have dubbed their endeavor “A Vision for Exeter: Developing a game plan for our town. Part of the Borderlands Project.”
