Planners,
On April 17, The Planning Association of Washington (PAW) is hosting a webinar on Engaging the Public in the Periodic Update.
About:
Snohomish's public engagement strategy for its Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update was creative and innovative, with a relatively low budget. It also resulted in a plan that received community buy-off and a successful adoption. Learn more about the strategy, including which methods were most successful, and how input was tracked and reported back to the public. PSRC has developed an equitable engagement guide for the comprehensive planning process. This guide includes four recommendations for conducting equitable engagement: identify communities most impacted, develop public engagement goals and outcomes, establish meaningful relationships and remove barriers to engagement. Each of these considerations includes an explanation, strategies to carry out engagement, and questions to consider. Register Here: https://ami.jotform.com/260684966780978
