Community Meeting 04/14/2011 Recap

Thursday April 14th, we held our second community wide meeting. It was great to see familiar faces from the first meeting return, and it was great to see so many new faces. It is always great to see community participation grow as the process goes along. The meeting was focused on sharing and discussing the Strategic Development Concept for the City. As discussed, the Strategic Development Concept provides an overall conceptual, graphic vision for the City of Columbus. The Strategic Development Concept comes directly from the existing green infrastructure, the existing physical condition and make up of the City, and all of the information we collected in the first town meeting. Resident participation is vital to the planning process to make sure we are crafting and expressing the vision that the citizens of Columbus want.

The meeting was an overview of the current Strategic Development Concept. We shared with the participants, the information we gathered, the analysis we have undertaken and the first conceptual look at the SDC for the entire planning area.

We want and need your feedback. Just like our last post below you will find links to the presentation from the meeting and the first Chapters of the Comprehensive plan. These chapters provide greater explanation of the idea, analysis and concepts we have all been discussing. As the planning process moves forward we will be providing the additional portions of the plan for everyone to see, read and comment on as we move forward. When you have a moment please take a look and read through all of the information. If you have any problems downloading the information or pulling it up from the links, please email us. We will try to as quickly as possible fix any and all issues as we can.
We will do everything we can to make sure every one has access to the information.

Feel free to contact us, and feel free to contact the City of Columbus Planner, Christina Berry.

Thank you so much for your participation, your insights, your conversations and making the process fun, exciting and purposeful.
