Leavenworth, WALocal News

The city is actively engaging its residents in the visioning process for the Osborn Property, inviting community members to review and provide feedback on three proposed site plans. These concepts have been crafted based on previous community input, showcasing the city’s commitment to participatory urban planning. Scheduled events will be held on June 10 at the Farmer’s Market, June 11 at Dan’s Food Market, and June 12 at Osborn School, each offering a platform for interaction. Attendees can view poster boards featuring the proposed plans, ask questions, and fill out a short survey to express their opinions. The city encourages residents to participate, emphasizing that their feedback will play a crucial role in shaping the final development.

For those unable to attend, additional information and updates are available on the Osborn website, ensuring transparency throughout the process. This initiative reflects a broader trend in local governance, where community involvement is increasingly seen as vital for successful urban development. The city's proactive approach exemplifies the importance of aligning development projects with the needs and desires of its residents.
