About 150 people came to the First Assembly of God Church for the third public meeting of the Garland Road Vision Committee Nov. 17.
The first meeting on Oct. 8 was an open house to introduce the public to the mission of Garland Road Vision Committee and seek their ideas and input. The second meeting was a Saturday workshop on Nov. 14 when designers and planners worked with a smaller number of committed citizens to process and analyze the comments from neighbors.
This third meeting presented the feedback from the workshop and provided another opportunity for community comments to be heard.
Gerry Worrall, chairman of GRV, was pleased with the turnout.
“This is the third neighborhood forum we’ve had and the last for this year,” he said. “So far, our meetings and workshops have been very positive. Defining our vision for the Garland Road corridor is an ongoing discussion and we are hoping to build a strong consensus among all the interested parties. People can continue to provide their ideas and comments through the Web site. We really want to hear from people, and we want them to know they can still make an important difference in the final plans.”
