The Community Benefits Committee (previously called the Visioning or Long-Term Planning Committee) will work to capture the desires, interests, and visions of the community for the future development of key real estate sites. The intention is for our community to be able to agree on general uses of specific sites and communicate these uses to elected officials, city planners and administrators, our neighbors, and potential developers. The Civic Association would work to achieve these uses and, if necessary, oppose any uses not consistent with our community’s desires.
