City Invites Community to Help Shape Tacoma’s Future
Washingtoner/10257126

~ Tacoma, Wash - The City of Tacoma is inviting community members to participate in shaping the future of their city through the One Tacoma: Shared Vision, Shared Future initiative. This initiative aims to gather ideas and perspectives from residents to inform long-term planning and decision-making processes.

According to Mayor Victoria Woodards, this initiative is a revolutionary way of engaging with the community. "By taking our discussions to every neighborhood, we're meeting community members where they are and making it as easy as possible for everyone to share their perspectives," she said.

The One Tacoma: Shared Vision, Shared Future initiative involves staff from various City departments and offices. They will be hosting several in-person workshop events and an online Ideas Wall to gather input from community members on how Tacoma should grow and evolve over the next 10 years and beyond. This input will inform the City's priorities and shape long-range planning documents, funding decisions, and strategic programs.

The first four in-person workshops will take place in May, with four more scheduled for June. These workshops will feature interactive stations focused on a wide range of topics such as historic preservation, community safety, economic development, and more.

The May workshops will be held at Silas High School on May 16th, Center at Norpoint on May 18th, Tacoma Armory on May 23rd, and Mason Middle School on May 30th. The dates and locations for the June workshops will be announced soon. All events are open-house style and family-friendly with light refreshments provided.

For those unable to attend an in-person event in May or June, the Ideas Wall on the One Tacoma engagement webpage will be open until July. City leaders and staff are encouraging all residents and community members to share their thoughts and ideas about Tacoma's future so that long-range plans and strategic programs reflect the diverse perspectives and experiences of the community.
