Last week we wrapped up an intensive 2-day retreat with City Council that covered several different topics about the future of our community and what kind of strategic investments are needed. Each one of those topics could be a separate discussion on this blog. The topics included:
- Quality of Life – newcomers survey, visual enhancement/beautification, parks & recreation, recycling, historic preservation/heritage districts, and a music festival
- Infrastructure – water/sewer, streets/transportation/stormwater
- Public safety – fire department needs, police headquarters
- Planning & development – development standards, signage, tree preservation, open space
- Economic development – facade grant programs, downtown & corridor redevelopment, human capital recruitment, business incubator, tourism development
- Finance & budget – revenue outlook, fund balance goals, debt service level
Each of the presentations are posted on the City’s website for your viewing pleasure.
The minutes from the retreat should be available in the near future by going to the Kannapolis WebLink site (click on Administration, City Council, Minutes, 2009).
