The hands-on workshop is designed for citizens interested in becoming more
familiar with the techniques of community-based planning. Tom Hudson of Moscow
, a professional community and regional planner, wil concduct the workshop.
Hudson facilitated last month's public meeting by the Shared Facilities Task
Force. He employed a number of strategies designed to encourage the public
to speak up.
"Meetings need to be structured so they are dialogue," he explained. "Citizens
need to believe that their local values and prioritized ideas will be used
for subsequent planning."
The March 13 workshop is limited to 20 participants, and a small materials fee
will be charged. Advance registration is necessary by Sunday, March 12.
