The HIA team contacted hundreds of community members through an outreach program that included community events, public forums, surveys in English and Spanish, and comment cards to develop recommendations tailored to support the plan's successful implementation.
Among the proposed solutions were programming and activities in the redeveloped riverfront area that engage key groups, including youth, people of color, and people limited-English proficiency.
HIA offers a flexible, complementary tool that planners can use to with assess complex issues and strengthen plans, policies, and projects using data and stakeholder input.
