Planning Week is Here! July 15-19
|
We have reached a key milestone in New Albany Next and July 15 through 19 is set aside as planning week.
Planning week is an intense time of community driven visioning and planning where “pencil meets paper”. The entire planning team will be in New Albany for the week planning for the city as whole as well as strategic focus areas. There are two major public events scheduled during this critical week. Please put them on your calendar.
The first workshop will engage in a very hand on exercise where participants will focus on strategic areas of New Albany designing in real time working with maps and scenarios. We will take the input from the Community Futures Workshop, refine them, and create a concept plan for New Albany. At the second workshop we will show the results of the community’s work in highly graphic visualizations and concepts and soliciting comment for refinement. In between, we will set up shop at the Union County Heritage museum. We’ll be mapping, designing, writing, and drawing the future as we hear it expressed by the community. |
Area Gatherings Produce Excellent Input!
Thanks New Albany! We had about 100 participants join us for community conversations on New Albany Next! at our area meetings. The engagement was real, insightful ideas were shared, and a framework for next steps is beginning to take shape. We'll have a report up on the site next week.
