Commerce Advancing Meaningful Engagement- Planner Survey

Part 1 - Timeline & Public Participation Questions

Uncommon Bridges is supporting the Washington State Department of Commerce in enhancing the engagement, understanding, and impact of Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) on comprehensive planning. We aim to develop resources that encourage deeper learning, bolster community involvement, and share the various comprehensive planning perspectives. These resources will include the following, all considered from the standpoint of a CBO:
  • Video: Offers a compelling narrative that captures viewers' attention.
  • Illustrated Short Story: Depicts technical comprehensive planning concepts and their relevance to everyday life.
  • Workbook: Supplies educational content, step-by-step guidance, and interactive tools, assisting organizations in understanding the comprehensive planning process and engaging the community.
Thank you for taking part in this survey, and we look forward to connecting in the future.
