Public input sought - What do we care about?

COLUMBIA, MO (February 3, 2012) - Columbia Imagined, the new "Plan for How We Live & Grow," is in its third phase. In this phase, the city is asking citizens to identify what they like best about Columbia so these community characteristics can be preserved and promoted in the future and also how issues related to growth and development affect each corner of the community.

With more input from people and organizations across the city, the plan will better reflect the community's vision for how the city should proceed over the next five, 10 and 20 years.

Input can be provided in several ways:

Take the survey online at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/COMOphase3 or fill it out in person at one of the convenient drop box locations throughout the city (City Hall, Columbia Mall, Boone County Roger Wilson Government Center, the ARC, Daniel Boone Library, Wabash Station, Memorial Union or the Food Bank)
