The City of Minneapolis has launched a new project seeking public input, and as a valued community partner, we could use your help in spreading the word about it.
It’s called the Community Indicators Project and its goal is to create measures to help the community, City leaders and staff determine how successful the City is at achieving its goals.
One of the ways people can contribute ideas to this project is through an online engagement tool. Folks are encouraged to share their thoughts through this tool between now and Feb. 6.
Would you be able to help share this news with your network and encourage them to share their thoughts?
More information is below, but please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you for your help with this important project.
