The City of Morgantown is in the process of performing an update of the Comprehensive Plan in coordination with Star City’s preparation of a Comprehensive Plan and the MPO’s Long-Range Transportation Plan update. This joint planning project is called
“Crossroads”.
In order to ensure that our region is working with the same vision, "Crossroads" is developing a “Regional Vision” that will include a number of community participation opportunities. Several focused stakeholder group interviews with community leaders are being scheduled to obtain key perspectives including business, development, education, neighborhoods, real estate, etc.
Additionally, two public "Crossroads Idea Gathering Meetings" are scheduled for Wednesday,
January 25 at South Middle School and Thursday,
January 26 at North Elementary. Both meetings begin at 7:00 PM. These public meetings will provide all interested parties an opportunity to participate in small group facilitated discussions concerning our region's "Strong Places, Weak Places".
I have attached a flyer announcing the public "Crossroads Idea Gathering Meetings" and have two requests of our Traffic Commission members:
1) Please make every effort to attend one of these public "Crossroads Idea Gather Meetings".
2) Please circulate the attached flyer widely to friends, neighbors, and associates.
A public awareness campaign will be launched in the coming days, but the most successful means of getting folks to attend is word-of-mouth and emails.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Respectfully,
Christopher M. Fletcher, AICPDirector of Development Services
