Neighborhoods are eager to learn more about planning processes to increase involvement in decisions affecting their futures. By October 1, 2009, Division of Planning and Development will begin a neighborhood outreach program that would emphasize education and collaboration on the planning process with neighborhood associations and community based organizations. The Division’s neighborhood planners would take the lead in developing and managing the outreach program, and the Division’s website should allow neighborhood associations to sign up to receive information on issues and permit existing neighborhood associations to create and manage online profiles of their groups, including officers, neighborhood boundaries, priorities, and contact information.
