"The next step in the Muncie Action Plan is a community choices workshop, which consists of two events. The first is a public meeting that starts at 5:30 p.m. March 16 at the Muncie Central High School auditorium. More than 1,600 ideas were proposed at the December meetings. This meeting will review those ideas, develop a framework of goals, and draft initial recommendations. The workshop will take two hours.

"The following day, March 17, everyone is invited to participate in the second part of the workshop, an open house from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in room 114 of the Innovation Connector (1208 W. White River Blvd.). This will be an opportunity to review the progress of the Muncie Action Plan, the only community plan being developed for and by participants, and to meet with key stakeholders for their perspectives on Muncie's future. At the end of the day, the research findings and public input will be synthesized into a coherent vision that will be reported to the steering committee.

"The Muncie Action Plan will be a strategic guide that expresses the values and aspirations of our community while creating a compelling action agenda for the future. Please plan to attend one or both of these meetings and participate in shaping our city's future. Remember that we all are Muncie!"
