Meeting, Updates & Community Events
Joint Comprehensive Plan Ward Meeting
This Thursday, July 10, you are invited to a joint 3rd, 8th, and 9th Ward discussion about the Envision Evanston 2045 draft Comprehensive Plan. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at the Dr. Jorge and Luz Maria Prieto Center, 430 Asbury Ave., in the gym. This is an opportunity to share your perspectives about what you would like Evanston's future to be and learn what your neighbors and residents from other ward's views are as well.
Due to the interactive nature of the discussions there will not be a hybrid option.
