Opening Presentation and Workshop 6:00pm-8:00pm
This presentation will feature principles of innovative planning and agrihoods and provide an overview of the Charrette process that will unfold over the next several days. After the presentation, participants will be invited to contribute their ideas for the property, working over maps of the land to identify how they might like to see the property develop in the future. In addition, participants can discuss any ideas and concerns they may have related to the property and how it affects the surrounding community. This will be followed by a Q&A session.
