The City of Staunton will host a community workshop on March 5th at 5:30 p.m.
This is the second of three community engagement meetings for the West End Revitalization Strategy Plan, working with residents and property owners to shape the future of Staunton’s West End.
The meeting is open to all, but citizens who want to participate should arrive by 5:30 p.m. The workshop will start with a brief presentation outlining what was learned at the January 9th Open House and community survey. The City’s consultants will present a draft of the community's needs and goals for review. Participants will then break out into groups for discussion and brainstorming with the help of consultants and city staff. A large portion of the workshop will allow time for the small groups to create up to five specific actions per goal for the West End.
This planning process will continue to develop a cohesive vision that bridges livability and economic prosperity for the West End, find achievable approaches to revitalize West Beverley Street, and improve the overall quality of life. This process will build on the work already done through the Brownfields Grant, which conducts environmental assessments at various sites around the West End.
