Task 2.0 Understand what is desired Meaningful plans must not only recognize those patterns or factors that reflect the character of a place and the physical. or economic potential of an area, they must also strive to capture the spirit of what the people desire. HKGi proposes to begin the involvement of the community at this point in the process; at Workshop One, the community shares their concerns and provides insights about its desires for the future of this area. It's particularly important because the change to CR 14 presents challenges and offers a significant opportunity for uniting downtown Centerville. Our task, in this phase of the work, is to better understand how the oommunity and those property owners directly affected by these changes, see downtown evolving. Direction provided through the workshop will form the principles that will guide theredevelopmentmasterpIan. We hegin this prooess with an understandingthatno redevelopment decisions have heenmade, no directions have heen set, andno plans have been drafted. We would begin with a presentation - building the case for a redevelopment plan, understanding changes to CR 14, citing benefits for the community and businesses, outlining the process for developing the work (and indicating opportunities for future input); presenting our thoughts about downtown Centerville and where we see opportunities within the redevelopment area; and then taking input from participants. Beyond Workshop One, HK Gi will conduct a seriesof targeted interviews with individuals or small groups defined by the Steering Committee. These interviews, conducted anonymously, will allow HKGi t9 gain deeper insight into the issues and concerns of the community, and permit us t9 understand the views of "key players" - most likely, those individuals that are directly affected by any changes within the project area. By agreeing to conduct the interviews anonymously, We have found the people are more willing to share critical information, offer opposing viewpoints, and, most importantly, to simply participate in the planning pr?cess. llitimately, this part of the process will be used to inform the planning process and guide the creation of alternatives for land use and development.
