City to host public forum to gather Comprehensive Plan feedback

Members of the Austin City Council will host a public forum on Wednesday, March 4, 2009, to seek the public’s input in the process of selecting a consultant for the new Comprehensive Plan, which will contain the City’s policies for growth and development.

The three finalist teams, chosen through a national Request for Qualifications process, made presentations to the City Council on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009.

At the March 4 forum, the City Council will gather additional feedback as well as suggestions for questions that may be asked of the three finalist teams. After compiling the consultants’ responses, Council will host another community meeting to seek public opinion on the consultants before making a final decision on April 23, 2009.
