A City That Works: Moderator Reports

A City That Works

At each of the 10 neighborhood forums, small-group discussions focused on five topics: education, ethics, healthy and sustainable communities, jobs and economic development, and public safety.

Participants worked with one another to set priorities for their chosen topic. Each group was led by a moderator, whose report will be posted here.  Follow the links below to see what citizens were talking about.
