Community Visioning and Strategic Development Framework: Designed and led implementation for all public participation for this Hennepin County-sponsored collaborative corridor planning effort in south Minneapolis.
Community issues and priorities drove the framework to yield millions in county, city, and other public/private infrastructure investments in this aged industrial corridor. The framework also incorporated existing plans and extensive new research and analysis.
Process included stakeholder identification and analysis, in-person input at community events and festivals, intercept surveys, door-knocking, community meetings, presentations, informational materials, and audio/video input.
Successfully reached out to underrepresented stakeholders and also facilitated community and technical committees that wove together key issues, goals and strategies, and information into a viable framework.
