- ✓
Focus groups involved over 300 community members“This engagement will use the themes identified in those rounds of engagement, including a dedicated teen space, safety and inclusion, and continuing the Old Fire House Teen Center's music and creative legacy, as a foundation for the conversation. The City's progressive design-build process for the project was approved by the state in July 2026, and the City is currently selecting a design-build team, a process expected to take several months. This engagement is timed to happen during that selection process, so that the team that is selected starts with current community input already in hand. Feedback from all three sessions will be shared with that team. Additional engagement, including questionnaires and interactive meetings with teens and the community, will be scheduled when the design-build team has been selected.
