Executive Summary
The Public Involvement Committee formed in the summer of 2007 to support the efforts of the Grand Vision land use and transportation study. Its members (Appendix A) were primarily volunteers from throughout the six-county region, but also included members of the consulting team.Goals
The committee established the following goals:
- Engage the maximum number of people, with the broadest representation from all sectors of the region in the Grand Vision process, by attending workshops, participating in the Grand Vision Decision and providing input thru other means
- Increase the knowledge of the people in the region about a variety of options for the future.
The gathered citizen input was central to providing a clear agenda to local officials for implementation of a regional land use and transportation plan that has broad citizen support.
