Informational Open House
On August 12th Design Workshop, the Steering Committee and the City hosted an Informational Open House at the Convention Center. Over 250 people, representing organizations, agencies, workers and residents, attended the event and shared their input on the future of Branson.
Attendees were given a passport to start that outlined the lay of the room, the agenda and topics at each station.
Four stations were set up for attendees to visit and provide input. The Community Plan 2030 station was an introduction to the comprehensive plan and asked people their opinions about future growth. The Heritage and Environment station focused on cherished places and recommendations for parks and open space. The Community station included three exercises related to affordable housing, transportation and a photo character board. The results of the exercises at each of the four Open House stations are available for download below. Stars were given to attendees at each station and then individuals entered their name into a drawing for various prizes to be used around the City.
People were encouraged to attend all four stations as well as listen to and participate in one of the two presentations made by Design Workshop. The same presentation was given twice in an effort to gather input from as many people as possible. View the presentation that was given to the attendees. The results from the survey questions asked during the presentations, combined with answers collected online between 8/13 and 8/23, are available for download below.
Input received from the survey and at each of the four stations was extremely valuable and enlightening. This information will inform the project goals and next steps of the process. We appreciate all of the response and time that people devoted to the Community Plan 2030!
