Community Engagement Process
Preparation for the 2023-2028 CEDS began in October 2022. Nine focus groups met either once or twice by April 2023. Between the focus groups and phone calls, over 100 participants contributed 225+ hours to the planning process. In fall 2023, focus group participants will have the invitation to continue as working groups on specific issues and action plans. Equity lens: the group momentum will be maintained throughout the CEDS implementation, and we will lay the groundwork for a more inclusive, equitable engagement process in 2028.

Thanks to the focus groups and all who contributed conversations and thoughts to this plan:
