The PLAN Carbondale Open House has been POSTPONED due to the forecast of inclement weather coming in this week. The new date is Wednesday, April 9- time and location remains the same- 6:30-8 PM, room 108, Carbondale Civic Center (200 S. Illinois Ave.)
At this event guests will be able to view the draft of recommendations for the City’s long-term comprehensive plan with the opportunity to provide feedback on these results. Guests may come and go as they please during this time frame but are encouraged to arrive at the start time to receive info on how to best participate in the event.
Over the past eight months, the City’s planning staff has worked with a volunteer steering committee representing a range of interests, backgrounds, and neighborhoods to help guide the process and plan document. Community members came out in November for a preliminary workshop at which they shared ideas for the future of Carbondale. Following that event and online engagement, the planning team has worked diligently to develop plan recommendations that will be shared at the Open House. The comprehensive plan is a long-term guide for land use, housing, transportation, parks and open space, economic development, and more.
Pizza and light refreshments will be provided at this event starting at 6:15, and activities will be available for all ages (bring the kids!). Free parking is available on-site. Advanced registration at PlanCarbondale.com is encouraged. For those unable to attend, materials will be posted online beginning Tuesday, March 25 for viewing and comment at PlanCarbondale.com.
The final comprehensive plan document is expected to be completed for approval late Spring/early Summer of this year. For more information, visit PlanCarbondale.com
