Our next engagement opportunities are seeking to engage local and city-wide stakeholders while keeping the conversation going with community members - join us for Working Groups #1!
What are Working Groups?
Working Groups aim to be spaces where residents, community partners, local organizations, and public agencies will come together to help shape the future of the Bicentennial Bluffs Planning Area. These small, collaborative meetings will focus on key topics:
People
Housing
Neighborhood
This is an opportunity to provide feedback, share ideas, discuss strategies, and help guide the development of the Choice Neighborhoods Transformation Plan. Your participation will help provide input to the project’s development, including the community needs assessment, identify priorities, define desired outcomes, and offer guidance as the plan evolves, ensuring it reflects the community’s needs, opportunities, and vision for the future.

Where are we in the process?
We’ve come a long way already! Through three community meetings, we have listened, learned, and begun shaping a collective vision with the community while initiating the strategy development process. The first session of Working Groups will be one of four meetings that will help refine priorities and inform the next steps of the planning process. Stay tuned!
