Stay tuned! Staff is planning four quadrant meetings to reach out to the public with focus on specific portions of the city.
Growing Better Places Game
As part of the public engagement tool-kit, MIG (the City's consultant) has crafted a board game with current city land uses and streets where players can influence growth of the city in the future. This game can be used both as a modeling tool and to start planning conversations among participants. The city has five (5) copies to checkout for groups interested in learning more about urban planning of our area. Where would you build a school or a park? Where would you allocate mixed use development? Lake access? Should the city expand into the Area of City Impact (ACI) and how does slope affect those decisions? Here's your chance to design the city as you see fit with your friends, family, colleagues, or any group you assemble.
If you are interested in checking out the game contact Sean Holm by either phone 208.767.7401 or email at [email protected]
All staff asks is that you record your results and share them with us (feedback sheet is provided) then return the game promptly for the next group.
For groups of 8 or more in semi-public locations, Sean is willing to facilitate the game and answer questions as his schedule will allow!
