Make plans to attend the second round of Community Conversations – the next stage of public input for Historic Past, Sustainable Future.
The second round of Community Conversations will feature expert presentations and questionnaires on eight hot topics heard from you and your neighbors during Round One. Pick your hot topic or attend them all.
