Cast a vision of Titusville's future
By Darrell Johnson
What's good about Titusville and what could be improved? What are the most important
challenges facing the city?
That's what city leaders hope to find out through the "Envisioning Our Future Together"
workshop.
"We would prefer that people participate in the entire workshop," said senior planner Courtney
Harris. "If someone can't stay, we still want them to come in and give their opinions. We'll serve
them lunch, and it will be a lot of fun."
She said a facilitator will conduct breakout groups to discuss various issues.
"What we hope to accomplish is create a visioning element for the city's comprehensive plan,"
Ms. Harris said.
The comprehensive plan is a state-approved document that designates the character of each area
of the city and specifies what can be built there.
"We hope to get a lot of people to the sessions," Ms. Harris said. "We'll send postcards to every
resident."
According to a flyer released by community relations spokesman Jim Thomas, Titusvilleis
seeking residents' opinions on:
Preserving open space and environmentally sensitive lands
Future development and redevelopment
Job growth and economic development
Workforce housing opportunities for area employees, such as teachers and police officers
Traffic and mobility
Water development and waterfront access
Titusville resident Robert Socks offered several suggestions about appearance and first
impressions on the city's visioning Web site, www.titusvillevision.com.
