Engagement
CHOICE NEIGHBORHOOD Community engagement efforts for the Midtown revitalization initiative included a design charrette workshop that invited residents and stakeholders to help shape the future of the area. Held at the John H. Dickerson Center, the interactive session focused on gathering input for Caroline Village, Palmetto Park and surrounding neighborhoods.
Participants collaborated in a hands-on environment to develop ideas and build conceptual 3D models, providing valuable insight into community priorities for redevelopment. Feedback from the workshop will help guide planning efforts aimed at creating a more vibrant and connected Midtown. The initiative is supported by a $500,000 federal Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grant, secured through a partnership between the city and the Housing Authority, will support planning efforts to transform key housing sites and surrounding areas.
