Community Involvement
The Duda family, The Viera Company staff and the other members
of the planning team are committed to a planning process that involves
local citizens. They have formed a Community Advisory Panel to
assist them in the planning process. The Community Advisory Panel
consists of 25 citizens who are active in the community and knowledgeable
about community issues. They met three times over the period from
June to October 2005, providing suggestions and comments on the
plan being prepared by the planning
team.
In addition to the Community Advisory Panel, outreach efforts have included presentations
to neighborhood and civic groups, this web site, and two open houses. The first
open house, held July 12th, introduced the development proposal to the community.
Members of the planning team were there to answer questions and
hear the public’s
views. The second open house was held after the planning team
had made substantial progress in developing the plan. At that time,
the public could see what the team had developed, provide feedback,
and suggest refinements.
OCTOBER 18, 2005 OPEN HOUSE
The web site will provide an opportunity for interested citizens
to track the progress of the planning and outreach effort as well
as share their thoughts and offer input. For example, summaries of
each Community Advisory Panel meeting are posted on the web site.
