The Public Workshops will consist of a short recap presentation on themes developed in the Focus Groups and the Vision Mapping process. We will then proceed to break out into small groups to provide more direct, specific feedback on each of the draft themes. The Vision Map will take the draft themes of balanced growth, sustainability, connectivity, diversity, and wellbeing, and apply them to areas of the city to create a framework of how the city should grow and develop over time. There will be an interactive planning exercise in our small groups.

The workshops will be held at these times and locations:

• Saturday, November 4^th at 2pm: College Park Elementary School Cafeteria – 1110 Bennington Road
• Monday, November 6^th at 6pm: Kellam High School Cafeteria – 2665 West Neck Road
• Wednesday, November 8^th at 6pm: Bayside Recreation Center – 4500 First Court Road
• Thursday, November 9^th at 6pm: Virginia Beach Convention Center, Suite 3 (2^nd Floor; Middle of the Building) – 1009 19^th Street

There is no need to RSVP to these workshops. We estimate this meeting to run about 1.5 to 2 hours. Please pass along the information to your friends, family, neighborhoods, colleagues, youth groups, civic leagues, faith groups, etc.

The more engagement we have from the community in this process, the better the plan will be! City Staff and the Consultant Team are eager to hear from as many residents as possible, so we hope to see you there!

Here’s where we are so far.
