Bridge to Our Future: Visualizing Outcomes
Help shape the future of Grand Rapids! We’re creating a new Community Master Plan (CMP) that will define the vision of how our city will grow and develop over the next 20 years.
These meetings are all about visualizing outcomes. They will cover topics such as housing, economic development and transportation and will dive deeper into the public input gathered earlier this year. Each meeting will provide an opportunity to give feedback in an interactive setting.
This is the first chance to see the big ideas that will drive development of the CMP.
Community members are invited to attend whichever meeting is most convenient. The city encourages people from all backgrounds and points of view to attend the workshops.
The workshops are family-friendly events and dinner will be provided. Attendees are welcome without registering, but completing the RSVP will help ensure there is enough food and materials.
