Community Meetings

Thank you for your interest in the GroWNC Community Meeting! If you made it to one of our meetings and wanted a copy of the information presented, this is the place for you. If you missed a meeting, you're still on the right track, but might need a quick overview of what we're doing.  

All of the materials listed here were presented at 'road stops' in our Community Meeting - places where you, the community member, took a few moments to see what was going on. The work presented was created by folks in your community participating in one of eight different workgroups, as well as some professional insight from consultants working on this project. Folks visiting the meeting were asked to give their opinions and feedback to what was presented. From there, we take that feedback and put it back into the process, present it to the Steering Committee and begin work on putting together different scenarios or models for the future. At our second round of Community Meetings in the fall, we'll ask you to stop back by and give final feedback and prioritize the options before you.  What you say and pick for the future will then be shared in a regional vision and strategies with our local government officials.  

If you're thinking we missed someone, we agree. That's why we'd like to make sure you know that you can host your own Community Meeting - take it on the road, so to speak - with a Community Road Trip. Grab some friends and neighbors and download the meeting Tool Kit. It's a quick, easy way to share what you think and contribute to creating our future.  If you get stuck, call us (828-251-6622). We'll be glad to walk you through it.


A preliminary report on the feedback received at the Community Meetings is available here.
