As part of our planning efforts, we are creating online versions of our community engagement activities that will be open to the public. We acknowledge that people may not be able to attend public meetings, and wanted to provide a space for those individuals to have their voice incorporated into the Gravois-Jefferson Plan. We will also be doing this outreach on-the-ground in order to ensure we are capturing as many voices as possible, including those who may not have access to the internet.
