During the month of October, the planning team will be ramping up our public outreach effort in the community. Prior to Covid-19, the intent was to have the planning team in Valdez for a week to meet with Commissions, City Departments, local organizations, businesses, stakeholders, and the general public during a series of focus group meetings. This was originally called Discovery Week. Despite Covid-19, we will still be hosting these meetings, although remotely, and to accommodate all we have renamed this effort Discovery Month. We will be be hosting focus group meetings during the week of October 12-16 and meeting with Departments and Commissions during the whole month as work sessions. Please keep an eye out for these meetings as they get announced and we hope you can participate remotely with us.
