My previous blog (click here) when this group kicked off last September, 2010. And read blogger Pam Power’s report on the November 30 community conversation at the Ward 6 office, which I also attended (click here).

Let us all imagine (and work together) for a better future for Tucson. And attend this meeting when the Phase 1 results will be revealed. Here’s preliminary stats from IGT’s March newsletter:

By the numbers, here are the results of the Phase 1 engagement:

* Over 3,300 surveys completed (adult and youth)
* 51 Community Conversations held
* 741 participants, from Marana to Vail, from southern Tucson to the foothills
* 600 random sample surveys completed.

…and heads up for future Phase 2 “Scenario Building Workshops: Designing our region of the future based on our shared values.” Schedule below:

* May 18th: Tucson Convention Center, 260 S. Church, copper ballroom
* May 24th: Hilton El Conquistador Resort, 10000 N. Oracle Rd.
* May 25th: Desert Diamond Casino (I-19 & Pima Mine Rd.)

All the workshops run from 5:30pm to 8:00pm (registration at 5:30pm, program begins promptly at 6:00pm). Go to the IGT website to find out more about the workshops or RSVP.
