Greater Downtown Area Plan 

Recognizing that certain groups have historically been underrepresented in urban planning processes, the engagement strategy will prioritize outreach to those who may face language, economic, or cultural barriers.

We know that traditional outreach methods don’t always reach everyone. Here’s how we’re ensuring our outreach reflects the diverse voices, needs, and priorities of our community: 

• Collaborating with Community Leaders and Organizations:  We’re working hand-in-hand with local community leaders to engage underrepresented groups in meaningful ways.
• Breaking Down Barriers:  From multilingual resources to culturally relevant events, we are designing engagement opportunities to meet people where they are.
• Partnering with Promotoras:  The City has partnered with Nuestra Casa and their  team of promotoras, trained outreach workers who connect directly with Spanish-speaking residents.
