We go nowhere without community support…
• 24/7 participation online, monthly meetings. Not just charrettes.
• 24/7 idea generation and upvoting of ideas. Not just focus groups and
community meetings.
• First-name basis with 100s of people. Not just with committee heads.
• Community involvement in major features of the plan. Not just surveys.
• Crowdfunding assistance to local businesses. Not just Facebook Likes.
• Community campaigns for leasing Letters of Intent. Not just emails.
• Demonstration events people can experience. Not just pretty renderings.
• Collective impact involving everyone. Not just isolated impact with select few.
