For those unable to attend in person, the city will offer a virtual participation option via Zoom. The event will also be recorded and made available afterward on YouTube and SPTV.
The open house is part of a broader selection process that will continue over the coming months.
Following a 30-day public input period, city administrators are expected to complete a strengths and weaknesses analysis of the shortlisted proposals in May.
That same month, applications will open for the Community Benefits Advisory Council’s project committee, a non-partisan board that advises city leadership on major development projects and community benefits.
Mayor Welch is expected to select a proposal, or proposals, in June after reviewing staff analysis and public feedback.
The selected plan(s) will then move through additional review by the Community Benefits Advisory Council and City Council.
In July, the advisory council is expected to host two meetings, including one with public comment.
Feedback from those meetings will help inform negotiations between the city and the selected development team(s) before a final agreement is brought to City Council for approval.
More information, including virtual meeting details and the full proposals, is available on the city’s website.
