HISTORY OF THE DOWLING ROAD PROJECT PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT:

Between August 5, 2002 and August 24, 2002, Jamie Damon, facilitator with Jeanne Lawson Associates, Inc. met with 28 stakeholders in 19 meetings. The stakeholders represented neighborhood, business, agency, and special interest groups in the area of Dowling Road Extension Project. The interviews provided an opportunity for project area stakeholders to: find out about the project in an informal setting; offer input into the public process design; identify issues to address and others to involve; and inform the project team about how they would like to be involved in the project as it develops.
