The City of College Station invites residents, business owners and property owners to help create a shared vision for the Harvey District through interactive community visioning workshops in August. You can share ideas about what makes the area unique and what opportunities should guide its future.
Whether you live nearby, shop, dine, work, or simply spend time in the Harvey District, your perspective matters. Your input will shape recommendations for the district’s long-term future and ensure the plan reflects the community’s needs and aspirations.
The four separate workshops are designed to capture the perspectives of different stakeholders. Each session will begin with a brief overview of the Harvey District Plan and existing conditions. Participants will take part in interactive activities to gather ideas, identify priorities and explore opportunities for the planning area.
Because each workshop features the same activities, you only need to attend one. All four sessions will be at the Meyer Senior & Community Center, located at 2275 Dartmouth St.
General Public: These workshops welcome anyone who has a connection to the Harvey District. If you live, visit, shop, dine, work or recreate in the area, we want to hear from you.
- Wednesday, Aug. 5, 6-8 p.m.
- Thursday, Aug. 13, 2-4 p.m.
Business & Property Owners: These workshops are geared toward individuals who own property or operate a business in the Harvey District planning area.
- Monday, Aug. 10, 2-4 p.m.
- Wednesday, Aug. 12, 6-8 p.m.
You don’t need planning experience; just bring your ideas and knowledge of the district. We look forward to hearing your ideas and working together to create a vibrant vision for the future of the Harvey District.
