Downtown Redevelopment Plan Community Meetings
 In
an effort to allow for more extensive community participation, the
workshops scheduled for June 7 and 8, 2006 have been modified to achieve
the following objectives:
- Engage the community and share details of the plan
- Create a record of the community recommendations and expectations
- Report back to the community on what was heard
- Incorporate suggestions into plan modifications where possible and advise community of proposed changes/modifications at future meetings
- Ensure representatives from City and PDN are available at all meetings to answer questions
June 7 - General Presentation
These meetings will provide details of the plan including the basis for the planning decisions made to-date. A question and answer session will take place at the end of the session. Comments made at the meeting will be recorded and evaluated for inclusion in the plan development.
| June 7 |
10:00 am - 12:30 pm

June 8 - Planning Workshops
The meetings on this day are geared for active public participation as part of a design exercise. They will allow the participants to have a hands-on opportunity to influence the proposed land use changes. Individuals that attend these meetings would work on either a residential mixed-use model or a retail mixed-use model.
