The plan was informed by a handful of public input sessions including a
two-day planning charette that was attended by about 75 people on Oct
19-20, 2010. A series of focus groups also occurred during the week
of October 3 , 2010 involving economic development professionals,
rd
commercial real estate broker/developers, property and business
owners, and public and university officials who offered their insights on
specific development opportunities and local market conditions. The
focus groups were supplemented by a series of personal interviews with
key property owners, NIRPC representatives, economic development
professionals, and state transportation officials. The plan was further
guided by a 12-person steering committee that met monthly during the
seven-month process.
