Participants also provided comments for consideration into the draft plan. You can click on the links provided here to download the boards, view the introductory presentation, and see images from the event.

Videos from our TWO Virtual Public Workshops!
The Comprehensive Plan's first set of Virtual Public Workshops took place on February 18. We held TWO interactive sessions via Zoom that same day to make it easy for residents to join at the time that works best for them. The sessions were recorded and are available for your review here: Session 1 (video) | Session 2 (video) . Content for both sessions was the same.
The first session was held at 1 pm, and a second one at 6:30 pm. A total of 26 participants registered for the first session, with another 10 participants registering for the evening session. Activities included a brief presentation providing an overview of the plan and discussion on community values and goals for the future of Glencoe. Questions? Please contact us > |
