Appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis through late October. Please email info@planbayarea.org with questions about office hours.
Strategy Refinements Technical Workshops
Given Plan Bay Area 2050’s solid foundation of 35 strategies, the Draft Blueprint phase for Plan Bay Area 2050+ will focus on making targeted refinements to select plan strategies.
Staff hosted two technical workshops to solicit input from partners and other stakeholders on the proposed refinements to the 35 strategies. The workshops also provided an overview of the Plan Bay Area 2050+ timeline and process.
The workshops were held on August 30 and September 7, 2023. The goal of these workshops was to hear how the last three years have shaped the “new normal” for participant's organizations; how partner organization's priorities and concerns may have shifted; and to solicit feedback on anticipated Draft Blueprint strategic refinements.
Planning Assumptions Webinar
Staff provided an update on the planning assumptions that will inform the development of the Draft Blueprint. The webinar included presentations on key external forces, draft regional growth forecast and drafts needs and revenue forecasts, along with opportunities for Q&A.
The webinar was held on October 19, 2023.
