This second public workshop will focus on gathering feedback on the draft vision, goals, and recommendations for the development of the Plan. The workshop will begin at 6:00 pm with a short presentation reviewing the planning process to date, followed by an open house with interactive stations where attendees can share feedback to help refine the draft recommendations, strategies, and actions for the Plan. All feedback collected at this stage will help shape a clear strategic and actionable roadmap for the City’s future. Families are encouraged to attend as a children’s station, and light refreshments will be available. Registration for the public workshop is encouraged but not required.
