3-1-1 Having A Voice Workshop

Building understanding of stormwater management, and the issues associated with polluted runoff, through education and participation activities is the backbone of the Our Voice Our Water project.  The 3-1-1 Having a Voice Workshop seeks to bring together the citizens of Northwood Estates, Lincoln Heights and Washington Heights with resources within the community to assist in addressing stormwater issues in order to determine desired approaches to enact and influence changes community members would like to see implemented in their respective neighborhoods. It is our hope that the "3-1-1 Having a Voice" Workshop will enable engagement with communities and city officials to allow the development of long term two way communications.  Due to COVID-19 this workshop will be held via Zoom on Tuesday June 22, 2021 from 6:00 - 7: 30 pm.

To aid in the development of topics for this workshop, 3-1-1 data was analyzed from all communities to help the project truly grasp the storm water and water quality concerns of your community. The citizen's guide below was developed with reference from 3-1-1 topics specifically expressed from community members.
