Imagine Austin: community forum

Friends,

As you may know, the City of Austin has initiated its comprehensive planning process, Imagine Austin.  This is a vital opportunity to get involved and help shape the future direction of the city. The comprehensive plan lays out the vision for the community and answers critical questions such as “where are we going” and “how do we get there”. If you’re concerned about transportation, affordable housing, land development, the environment, the economy, etc., you will definitely want to be involved.

Below are details regarding community forums taking place the week of November 9th where you can weigh in with your thoughts about Austin’s future. Visit http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/compplan/ to sign up to get notices directly from the City of Austin or for contact information for City of Austin staff members. 

Please spread this information to your networks as well and encourage others to participate.

Hope to see you at a forum!

Diane
