Community Working Group
In May 2007, the project partners assembled a diverse group of community leaders to provide advice and guidance in all areas of the Corridor’s development. Members of the working group bring diverse representation to the project, representing the city’s neighborhoods, arts community, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. The group will meet periodically to identify opportunities and issues important to the project’s development, and create collaborative efforts to engage different stakeholders along the Corridor.
