HALA Community Focus Groups
Welcome!
Community Focus Groups met for nearly one year to help craft the principles guiding how we implement MHA. Maps of proposed zoning changes are available online and at in-person meetings. Have a look below for links to more information. Please check the calendar often for other opportunities to engage and share your ideas.
We summarized Focus Group input on the MHA implementation principles. This packet includes the key materials that the Focus Groups reviewed and discussed.
