The City’s 2024 Spring Neighborhood Leadership Workshop was held earlier this week at the Senior Center. The biannual workshop, managed by the Community Services Division, provides networking opportunities for neighborhood and homeowner association (HOA) leaders and the chance to stay up to date on important projects and initiatives happening in the community.
At Tuesday’s event, more than 100 people heard from City staff and consultants about the progress of “Envision Richardson,” the City’s Comprehensive Plan Update, how Richardson could grow in the future, and provided feedback about the potential for “missing middle” housing in Richardson via a visual preference survey and group discussion. In addition, they had the chance to interact with staff from major City departments at an Exhibitor’s Row.
Developing and maintaining relationships with the associations is essential to the goals of the City Council by ensuring Richardson explores initiatives to attract, engage and retain residents.
