Imagine Leeds Comprehensive Plan Events
Dates & Times: Friday, June 7 Open House Planning Tent at Downtown Movie Night Event and Thursday, June 13 Group Presentation/Group Exercises at City Hall
People of Leeds, please join us on Friday, June 7, at the downtown Leeds Summer Movie Night for an update and interactive exercise about the Imagine Leeds Comprehensive Plan. Prior to the movie screening the planning team will be set up in a booth on site from 6:30-8:00 to share key research and public input findings and potential goals and actions for the final plan with anyone who is interested. The movie night event will have a variety of other booths and vendors, so feel free to grab a bite to eat and swing by the planning tent with any questions or ideas you may have. This will be an open house style planning activity without a formal presentation so drop in whenever you can and review the posters at your own pace. You will also have the opportunity to participate in an individual engagement exercise to help prioritize the plan’s projects and recommended actions. We hope to see you at the planning tent for our downtown movie night as well as at a more formal follow-up meeting on Thursday, June 20 at 6pm in City Hall. The June 20 meeting will include a more in-depth group presentation and group exercises. Please join us for one or both of our upcoming Imagine Leeds events, we’ll see you there! Thank you from the City of Leeds and the GMC Planning Team.
