Discussion: 2016 Community Sustainability Plan Update

The City is updating our Community Sustainability Plan, and we want input from residents to do so. This fall, City staff will host two series of workshops, in which residents will provide and discuss ideas on how to plan the future of Hyattsville. Simultaneously, residents are invited to use the City's new online community engagement portal, Speak Up HVL, to share and discuss ideas. 

We hope you'll Speak Up and participate in the meetinsgs and/or online. When you do, please also share your ideas on Facebook and invite friends to join the discussion. 

The first series of workshops - Community Visions - will take place on the following dates. Please note that all three meetings are the same, so there is no need to attend multiple meetings.
