The city of Warsaw is completing one public planning activity and starting another, and they are enlisting the public’s help.

Already this summer, the city and Ball State University partnered to “Imagine Warsaw!” The workshops gathered input from over 200 community members and included creative visions for the future of specific areas in Warsaw. The team from Ball State has been working hard, and they are coming to Warsaw Community High School on Thursday, July 18, to make their final presentation. That will begin at 7 p.m. and is open to the public.

Using the BSU workshop as a springboard, the city of Warsaw is preparing a new comprehensive plan and is asking for residents input by completing an online survey, attending a public workshop, or both.

To participate in a public workshop, attend one of two upcoming opportunities at City Hall, 102 S. Buffalo St. The first is 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, July 25; and the second is from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, July 26.

The purpose of the online survey and public workshops is to help the city identify strengths, weaknesses, needs and community values relating to the future of the community.

Topics include future growth and redevelopment, transportation, economic development, natural environment, parks and recreation, public services, housing, community image, and other aspects that relate to quality of life in the community.
