Residents of the Constellation of Starke region are invited to attend tonight’s community outreach event at the Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center in Knox.
Things will kick off at 6 p.m. and during the event, community members will be filled in on the Stellar process so far and will have a chance to learn more about projects and programs that will be incorporated into the Stellar Communities Regional Development Plan.
After coordinating with local leaders and receiving feedback from the community, there are multiple projects being considered, such as housing in the three major incorporated areas, park improvements, beach upgrades and a unique connector project that would help link the communities by installing lanes for bicycles and golf carts on existing, underutilized roadways.
Other potential projects include developing a plan to implement a county-wide transportation system, supporting opioid addiction remediation programs, improving downtown areas as well as developing a network of creators to emphasize the arts and encourage collaboration.
In order to make sure Constellation of Starke’s residents are being accurately represented in the Regional Development Plan that will be submitted to program officials in September, individuals are being asked to participate in a brief, five-minute survey.
Some print outs will be available at the event but you can also take it online by clicking the following link: Constellation of Starke Community Outreach Survey.
