Strawman Draft of Regional Priorities:
 

In late 2009 and early 2010, the Collaborative met with 10 diverse focus groups to receive input on important community priorities for the Richmond Region. Participants were asked to share their opinions on what they value and what should be the priorities within our community.

 

The Collaborative compiled the large variety of suggested actions to strengthen our Region to create a "Strawman Draft of Regional Priorities." The following 7 regional priorities represent the most frequently suggested issues identified by the focus groups.

We invite all who are interested to participate in this exciting initiative to strengthen the Richmond Region. We seek broad community feedback on the Strawman Draft of Regional Priorities.

 

We are interested in learning which priorities residents support, which cause concern, and if any additional ideas should be added to our draft. During the summer and fall of this year, the Collaborative will be engaging the community in an open conversation about these draft priorities. We invite residents to participate in public forums and attend meetings to express their opinions about the Region’s priorities.

 

What priorities do you support? Does anything on our list cause you concern? What should be added?

If your organization or group is interested in participating in this exciting effort to shape the future of our Region, or if you would simply like to submit comments, please contact us.
