City officials are planning for Parkland’s future and they want to hear from the community. Beginning on March 19, the city will hold five public forums open to teens and adults.
“As we start our strategic planning process, we are seeking input from our residents of all age groups to learn their thoughts on current city services and programs and what they would like to see more of in Parkland,” said Mayor Christine Hunschofsky, who will be in attendance.
While other elected officials may attend, Todd DeAngelis, chief communications officer for the city said these are sessions for the residents to be heard. They plan to gather comprehensive information at multiple forums over the course of two days and are hopeful for big turnouts at each one.
