As described on the Imagine Kalamazoo website: Help create a shared vision for Kalamazoo, driven by the ideas and input of residents, businesses, community groups, and stakeholders like you. Join us at events, participate in surveys, and encourage your friends, family, and neighbors to get involved. Together, we can imagine—and build—a thriving Kalamazoo for generations to come! Building on the input received during the "Imagine It!" phase, "Plan It" will focus on confirming the strategic vision goals and establishing the community outcomes from these goals. These conversations will directly shape the update of the Strategic Vision, which will be released for public review and consideration later this spring.
*Open house style, no presentation, individual input opportunities only
Activities & tasks will include:
1) Picking up litter and trash to keep it out of Asylum Lake, with a focus on Drake Rd corridor
