The Alachua County Commission continues its community input sessions for the Forward Focus initiative, designed to enhance quality of life, boost economic opportunities, and address community needs in Eastern Alachua County. Following productive meetings in Hawthorne and Waldo, the project team will hold two additional sessions this month.
“The feedback we’ve received so far has been incredibly valuable,” said Missy Daniels, assistant county manager and Forward Focus team lead. “We’re learning so much about the priorities and concerns of residents in Eastern Alachua County, and we encourage everyone to participate in these important conversations.”
The upcoming community input sessions are:
- Micanopy: Thursday, Feb. 20, at 6 p.m. at Micanopy City Hall (706 NE Cholokka Blvd., Micanopy)
- Monteocha Area: March meeting place and time to be announced soon
At each meeting, attendees will:
- Learn more about the Forward Focus project goals and timeline.
- Provide feedback that will help shape a community-wide survey.
- Network with neighbors and local leaders.
