Heartland Visioning to Hold Community Meeting to Discuss Downtown Redevelopment

Heartland Visioning would like to invite the community to join a discussion about downtown redevelopment of Kansas Avenue and Eighth Avenue from 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m., Thursday, February 25, 2010 in the Regency Ballroom of the Ramada at Sixth and Madison.

In the Heartland Visioning Strategic Plan, an overwhelming majority of the community wanted downtown redevelopment and revitalization. Heartland Visioning is creating an opportunity for the community to come discuss redeveloping downtown Topeka, particularly Kansas Avenue and Eighth Avenue.

William Beteta, Executive Director of Heartland Visioning said, “Our goal at Heartland Visioning is to provide opportunities for community collaboration in the implementation of the strategic plan, and we want to make sure the community is included in the discussion of downtown redevelopment from the beginning.”

Heartland Visioning is a community-wide initiative to develop and implement a shared strategic vision for what we want our community to be in 5, 10, 20 years. Our community is defined as Shawnee County which includes: Auburn, Rossville, Topeka, Silver Lake, Willard, and unincorporated Shawnee County.
