Bellevues proposed Diversity Advantage Plan 2035 debuts at public open house

Bellevue will host an open house on Nov. 20 from 6 to 8 p. m. at City Hall to present the preliminary Diversity Advantage Plan 2035. City staff will explain the update process and how community feedback contributed to the revisions.

The original Diversity Advantage Plan, adopted in 2014, established 60 recommendations for promoting a diverse and equitable community. In 2023-2024, Bellevue staff engaged with residents to gather insights for the updated plan. The new plan aims to foster collaboration between the city and its residents, enhancing inclusivity and belonging. Dinner and activities for children will be available, but attendees must pre-register. For alternate formats or accommodations, residents are encouraged to contact the city at least 48 hours in advance.

This effort reflects Bellevue's commitment to addressing the diverse needs of its community.
