    STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS July and August 2017

    STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS July and August 2017 SUMMARY Overview The Whittier General Plan Update stakeholder interviews were conducted in July and August 2017 at the Whittier Community Center. The interview’s purpose was to inform community representatives about the Whittier General Plan Update and gather their feedback on key topic areas. Participants were asked to share their opinions about Whittier today and a vision for Whittier’s future. This report summarizes stakeholder input gathered in the stakeholder interviews. Ensuring the Whittier General Plan reflects the diverse needs and priorities of the community, representatives from 36 local organizations were invited to participate in the stakeholder interviews. Twenty-four representatives from 19 organizations participated. Each interview was facilitated by a MIG staff member without City staff present to provide community members the opportunity and space to share their opinions freely. The participants were assured their comments would be summarized in a format that cannot trace individual comments to a specific participant. Key Findings The interviews’ purpose was to engage stakeholders in interactive discussions about topics such as land use, transportation, and health. All comments and ideas were documented and analyzed to classify the key findings. The key findings that emerged from all stakeholder groups: Strengths Sense of community and small-town feel Involved and collaborative community Engaged and responsive City staff and leadership Greenway Trail, hills, and other parks
