Status Updates
On Saturday, September 29 the City hosted a Downtown Design Workshop in the Lowell Fire Department Community Room. Approximately 15-20 residents attended throughout the day. The event included many activities, including a visual preference survey, walking tour of downtown, and an interactive design game where groups were tasked with developing a design of the downtown area that met the vision and goals of the Downtown Master Plan. A draft conceptual plan was developed and will be refined at the next Downtown Master Plan Steering Committee meeting on November 5. The City will host a public meeting on Wednesday, November 14 at 7:00 p.m. to review the plan with the public and solicit additional feedback.
