City Holds Vision Edina Open House

Edina, Minn., March 26, 2015 – The City of Edina will hold an open house 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, in the lobby of City Hall to further discussion on the City’s future visioning process, Vision Edina.

The City Council will be present to cover the different elements of the vision and to gather feedback before adopting a final vision that will help guide the City’s Comprehensive Plan and capital and operating budgets.

“This event is being hosted by the City Council, so it will provide a chance to talk one-on-one with Council Members about the draft visioning document and the future of the City,” said Assistant City Manager Karen Kurt.

Vision Edina began last fall with a “think-tank” workshop and staff continued to gather feedback through December with a series of public sessions and privately hosted workshops. Approximately 600 people provided feedback through the project. The information gathered was analyzed and compiled into two documents that were presented to the City Council at its Jan. 20 work session.

The Community Engagement Report outlines the Vision Edina process from start to finish, including background research, survey results, data analysis, the importance of defining a vision and more. The Draft Strategic Vision and Framework Report is a summary of the draft strategic vision and framework for the City as outlined by data collected throughout the survey process.

“[This is] the last chance [for residents] to weigh in before the Council approves the Strategic Vision and Framework in May,” noted Kurt, who encourages all to attend.

The Draft Strategic Vision and Framework Report and Community Engagement Report are available online at www.EdinaMN.gov/vision. Join the conversation about the City’s visioning process online at www.SpeakUpEdina.org.
