Who are the meetings for?
During the week of March 10th, 2008, the EDSA Team will facilitate the first round of evening, public work sessions, for each of the three study area zones, with interested members including but not limited to:
- local business association members
- local civic groups
- concerned citizens
- government representatives
- any stakeholder in Mobile's future
It is essential that all City leaders, staff, property owners, business owners and residents participate in and take ownership of the implementation strategy. We will enable community and stakeholder involvement for both the Downtown core and Midtown neighborhoods through interviews, work sessions and Town Hall meetings.
What can I expect?
These sessions will be the forums for introducing citizens, businesses and property owners to the EDSA consultant team, the planning study and the proposed Downtown and Neighborhood planning processes.
After an initial introductory presentation, EDSA Team members will pair up with City staff representatives to conduct smaller topic oriented break-out group sessions with participants to allow for as much interaction as possible. A public input survey will also be provided for participants to record their thoughts for the Team’s use.
What is the purpose of the Public Work Sessions?
The primary purpose of the approaching work session week in March is to receive input from you, a City stakeholder, regarding the Mobile Urban Design and Economic Development Strategy.
The EDSA Team believes that building majority consensus among the City’s resident, business and government stakeholders on the direction that should be taken to conserve, preserve and strengthen the Downtown Core and surrounding residential neighborhoods is critical to any future successful planning and redevelopment activities. Before we can begin planning for the City’s enhancement, preservation, conservation, sensitive development and long-term sustainability, we must first understand what the City majority wants the area to become in the future.
