There are lots of ways for you to join in on this project. As we work through building the plan, there will be five touchpoints for you to get involved. Sign up for our project email list, follow us on Facebook and share our posts, and most importantly, come to our meetings – bring your family and friends too!

Each of our five touchpoints will consist of two public meetings, giving you ten chances to meet face-to-face with our team.

Can't make it to the meetings because of your busy schedule? No problem! We've got you covered with digital surveys that cover the same topics as our in-person meetings.

Are you new to the project and missed some earlier meetings? Don't stress! Catch up below with all the materials shared during each of our meetings.
