We are gathering this input and support through a series of three in-person workshops as well as online outreach. Community Workshop #1 was held on October 2. Community Workshop #2 will be held on October 23. Community Workshop #3 will be held on November 13. The project can be followed online at www.facebook.com/southgrandparkla/ and an online survey to gather additional input on character and program was launched today. Today is an opportunity for DLANC’s Planning and Land Use Committee to preview the initial feedback and design direction and provide input. The design will continue to be refined through the community outreach process and we’d like to bring the results of this effort to DLANC’s full board for support on November 14.
