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 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.
