If you weren’t able to attend the first community meeting on March 16 to hear potential ideas for the transformation of the Hiawatha Gardens property, you have another opportunity.
Make plans now to attend an in-person community meeting 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, March 30 in Memorial Hall (606 Manitou Ave.)
Potential designs for the historic dance hall building and the surrounding parking area will be unveiled. Meeting participants will be encouraged to ask questions, discuss and provide feedback about the ideas.
Comments received through the community meetings will guide city staff and the task force of community volunteers as they determine which of the eight building options and four site plan alternatives are most preferred.
The task force and staff will then narrow down the list of choices to create a draft plan. That plan will be presented to the community for another round of feedback in a few months.
If you would like to look at the ideas that will be presented at the meeting, visit the Hiawatha Gardens Virtual Information Center: bit.ly/HiawathaVIC.
