Washingtoner/10248662

~ Tacoma, Washington - The City of Tacoma is launching the South Tacoma Way Neighborhood Plan with a Virtual Plan-A-Thon community event on Thursday, February 29. This event, which will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 PM on Zoom, aims to gather input and ideas from community members about the neighborhood's assets, challenges, opportunities, and vision for the future.

According to Linda Robson, the Media and Communications representative for the City of Tacoma, this event is just one of many opportunities for community members to actively participate in the neighborhood planning process. The City's Neighborhood Planning Program works closely with residents to address issues such as sustainability, transportation impacts, safety, economic development, community identity and history, and public amenities.
