City Invites Community to Help Shape Tacoma’s Future
Washingtoner/10257132

~ 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 the city's long-term outlook and strategic vision for the next 10 years and beyond.

Mayor Victoria Woodards expressed her excitement about this initiative, stating, "Through our One Tacoma: Shared Vision, Shared Future initiative, we're revolutionizing the way we engage our community members to ensure that the decisions that shape numerous aspects of Tacoma over the next decade are community informed." She also emphasized the importance of meeting community members where they are and making it easy for everyone to share their perspectives.

The One Tacoma: Shared Vision, Shared Future initiative involves staff from various city departments and offices coming together to host a series of in-person workshop events and an online Ideas Wall. These platforms will allow community members to share their ideas and perspectives on how Tacoma should grow and evolve in the coming years. The gathered input will inform several long-range planning documents, funding decisions, and strategic programs such as the 10-Year Strategic Plan, Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Community Safety Action Strategy, 2025-2026 Biennial Budget, and Participatory Budgeting for District 2.
