A second public Visioning Workshop will be held in the evening of January 30, 2007 at the City Hall Community Room to engage citizens in shaping the future of Snellville.  This additional workshop will provide a forum for citizens to discuss current issues and areas of concern and identify opportunities for positive change. This workshop is intended to focus on the downtown core and immediate surrounds, but all areas within the City will be addressed. Input from citizens is crucial to development of the Comprehensive Plan Update to ensure that it addresses the issues that matter most to the citizens of Snellville and to ensure that implementation strategies are realistic. Individuals interested in the future of Snellville are encouraged to attend the workshop.  The doors will be opened at 6:00 p.m., and the meeting will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. and will end at 8:00 p.m.
