Participants can arrive at their convenience and stay as long as needed to get their questions answered. Stations are set up for each relevant issue under consideration. Each station has project staff available to answer questions. Participants are able to provide their comments at each station or on comment sheets that can be mailed to the project team. Workshops bring citizens of diverse backgrounds and concerns together to meet and discuss their common goals.
Workshops involve both large group and small group sessions.
Large group sessions provide the opportunities to talk and listen to all participants. While small group sessions encourage more in-depth discussion. Workshops are designed to bring large, diverse groups together to set overarching project goals and visions. Each working group will have 2-hour meetings to discuss specific issues of concern. Working groups will eventually meet together to discuss common issues and solutions.
