The plan will identify things that public officials and private partners can do to proactively improve the community, and spans topics like land use, economic development, housing, mobility, utilities, public safety, and parks and recreation, according to the city’s website. The six surveys touch on each of these topics and can be found on the city’s website.
Housing questions include whether people plan to stay or leave, and if they plan to leave, whether it’s because of amenities, housing costs or styles, or other issues. Public safety questions include input on police, fire and EMS response times, as well as the types of safety or crime concerns residents have.
Public feedback events will be held in early 2023 allowing residents to discuss their priorities in person with one another and with city staff. Public input, as well as analysis of demographic and market trends will be used to flesh out the final document, which is expected to be complete by the end of next year.
The project is funded by a grant from the Dayton Foundation.
