Public Meeting Recap
The first public meeting meeting about the Wellness and Recreation Center Study was a huge success. We had over 65 people in attendance and received invaluable input that will be included in the final results of the study. At the event, participants learned about the scope of the study, who is involved, the timeline, and opportunities for public participation. They also made their voices heard during a collaborative exercise where they wrote answers to questions on sticky notes and prioritized programming and recreation spaces around the room. The next public meeting will be held on November 20th at the Library at 6:30pm.
Public Survey
The public survey is now live! We have two surveys running simultaneously. The first is a scientifically valid survey with a random sampling of the community asked to participate to get a general idea of the community's thoughts and opinions. We are also providing a publicly accessible survey for everyone to participate in who are interested. The goal of this survey is to get the thoughts and opinions of those who care the most about the subject. These results will be presented at the next public meeting on November 20th.
What is next for the project?
The next step in the project includes the public survey and recreation center tours. Our steering committee, selected by the City Council, along with staff and our consultants will be touring a variety of recreation centers in the DFW area to see what works, what doesn't work, and identify things that they would like to see in Taylor and things that they do not want to see. These tours will be held on October 23-24.
