Planning News

The planning has begun…

The City recently commissioned a consulting team led by Opsis Architecture, in association with The Sports Management Group, to work with residents and staff to begin planning for an indoor recreation facility. The consultant team held its first series of meetings on July 18 and 19 to gather information from the community regarding their recreational needs and interests. The needs assessment phase of the planning was begun with a series of stakeholder meetings. Each stakeholder group represented a wide range of citizens including active adults, youth, families, and local business. Meetings also involved potential partners, including schools, healthcare, and other agencies interested in fitness, wellness and recreation in our community. Interviews were conducted with City Council members and workshops were held with parks and recreation staff and the Parks and Recreation Board.
