PROJECT DEVELOPMENT TRANSPARENCY

So much amazing development happened during these workshops, bringing the project submissions to a point where locations and governing partners were identified, key project elements identified and placed in conceptual locations on site, and rough cost estimates determined.   

Please be aware: Project site plans produced in workshops are still in a conceptual phase. Project partners will go through intensive site development processes to prepare ideas for implementation. This means that the layout of the design might shift from what the voted on proposal plan looks like, but design intent will remain. 

The ideas that have not made it through vetting or voting rounds do not disappear! Your needs and wants have been heard by partners and will help inform future decision making. Thank you for helping to make better Nature in your Neighborhoods!
