Hopefully by the end of our project, we will have generated public knowledge. This takes a lot more work than simply gathering input, but its a great investment in our future. By asking people to engage in a variety of opportunities for meaningful conversation, we will build relationships, trust and shared understanding.  We have already seen so many creative sparks around projects like the farmers market, bike park, dog park.  Just imagine what we might be able to accomplish if we all have a shared vision for our future.
