ARCHIVE - Initial Community Survey

An initial community survey was conducted in April and May 2023 to learn from the public about concerns for the area and to seek input and community preferences for potential design styles, features, themes, and considerations. This feedback will be used as guidance for the selected artists and for the design team RHAA to to develop up to three (3) conceptual site plans for future public feedback.
