More than 85 community members attended and participated in the event. At the forum, participants were presented with several discussion topics and activities designed to elicit opinions for enhancing economic development in the community. TPMA facilitated a Visual Preference Survey in which each participant rated images on a -5 to +5 scale to convey preferences on aesthetics and quality of place. In another activity, public forum contributors had a chance to write their own newspaper headlines from the future. Participants acted as editors of the Sentinel-Record, projecting their ideas for how the newspaper headlines would read in the year 2025 on such topics as “Downtown News,” “Real Estate,” “Dining and Entertainment,” “Recreation and Sports,” “Living,” “Opinion,” “Education,” and “Economy.” This exercise was designed to showcase the community’s downtown redevelopment vision and outline realistic economic development goals for future implementation. TPMA also conducted an exercise called “Hot Springs or Not Springs.” The Project Team posted pictures of various Hot Springs assets to determine whether the community thinks they are valuable features (“Hot” Springs) or not (“Not” Springs). Finally, the Project Team directed an individual exercise through which participants could answer a questionnaire with such questions as “What do you like most about living in Hot Springs” and “If you had a magic wand and could change one thing, what would it be?” The results of the Community Public Forum are included below.
