Expanding Our Reach
Our project is built on meaningful participation. Recently, an introductory email was issued via the Johnson County newsletter, reaching approximately 200 community members to share the vision of the project. Additionally, our team has identified and engaged a targeted list of 30 key stakeholders whose collaboration is essential to aligning the county's stakeholders and JCTA 2050 Master Plan.
Defining the Path Forward
We aim to finalize our survey questions as soon as possible. After the survey is finalized, we will begin dispering it to local stakeholders. On March 30th, we will conduct in-person interviews with 6-8 key stakeholders across different industries.These insights will help us in refining recommendations based on local feedback.
