The City of Grandview Heights held its second community meeting
for its Community Planning Process, “Grandview
Heights: Growing on Tradition”, on June 27, 2018, and is now seeking
additional community input through a new online feedback tool.
Mayor Ray DeGraw said, “We were delighted to see the continued
participation from the community at the June 27 meeting. These meetings, in
conjunction with the online feedback tool, focus groups, and other engagement opportunities,
will help provide a comprehensive view of the future for our community.”
At Community Meeting 2, approximately 40 residents gathered to
give input and share their thoughts on thirteen areas of town that were highlighted
from the information gathered in Community Meeting 1.
The online feedback tool, “will be the first online component of
the planning process,” said Council President Greta Kearns. “There were a few
polls floating around, but this will be the first official online poll that is
part of the planning process being conducted by the City. We want to stress we
are still in the preliminary stages of the process and have not drilled down to
any specific projects yet. As a city, we want to ensure that we have fully absorbed
the community’s input, and with each exercise we are honing in on a shared
vision for Grandview Heights.”
The online tool can be accessed at https://goo.gl/forms/Mc06vKgkmuVBna6b2
and it will also be posted
at grandviewheights.org/growingontradition. The survey will be available until August
15, 2018.
