Inside Redmond
Connecting the Community with City Government
Be a Part of Redmond’s Future
February 1st, 2010 at Mon, 1st, 2010 at 12:10 pm by John MarchioneSome of you may find long-range planning “pie in the sky”, but it is through this planning process that the vision and direction of Redmond is formed. This is why it is critical to be involved in this part of the process — this is where important decisions are made long before a development is conceived or the bulldozers show up.
The update of our Comprehensive Plan is beginning now. The first step is to determine the nature and scope of potential updates. I encourage all of you, residents and businesses alike, to provide your ideas and priorities to the City. You can do this either by attending the Planning Commission’s public hearing (Wed. Feb. 17, 7pm at City Hall) or by submitting written comments in advance of the hearing. Submit your comments to the project leads, Sarah Stiteler (sstiteler@redmond.gov) or Jeff Churchill (jchurchill@redmond.gov).
It takes all of us to make Redmond an even better city.
John Marchione John has served as Mayor of Redmond since January 2008. Prior to that, John spent four years on the Redmond City Council. John’s family moved to Redmond when he was four. Since then, John has called Redmond his home.
