Share your vision with the City on Wednesday! Featuring a youth summit and even a kids’ play area – because you’re never too young to get involved and be engaged in the civic process – “Tacoma 2025” is a visioning event for community members of ALL ages interested in sharing their ideas for how Tacoma could grow over the next decade. Plenty of opportunities at the Convention Center for computer and paper input as well. There is no charge to attend ...or participate in any part of the event, which will take place at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center (1500 Broadway in Tacoma) on Wednesday, July 30, from 6 – 8:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. and light refreshments will be served while attendees check in and mingle with one another. Event parking will also be available at no charge in any of the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center’s garages. Public input has been pivotal to the “Tacoma 2025” strategic planning process, and the information gathered throughout the “Tacoma 2025” strategic planning process will result in a citywide strategic plan which will outline steps to achieve a shared community vision for Tacoma’s future. It will also help inform decision making regarding the City’s resource allocations to ensure that funding is available to actualize community priorities identified in the plan. The “Tacoma 2025” Plan will focus on seven key areas: • Public health and safety • Quality of life and livability • Economic vibrancy • Culture, arts and recreation • Educational opportunity and attainment • Government performance • Infrastructure, mobility and environmental sustainability
