Hilltop Planning Charrette
2025-08-20 12:00 - 13:00 | Rogalski Center – SAU
Early this year, the Hilltop Campus Village started pursing a new Master Planning document for the Hilltop neighborhood. It was our goal to create a document that we could use to help promote the neighborhood and base future attainable goals from. We asked our Hilltop community to provide input through a survey and charrettes. If you were apart of that process, THANK YOU!
However the process is not quite over. Wednesday, August 20th, 12 PM (Noon) to 1 PM the Hilltop Campus Village will be having another Charrette to get further feedback. Think of this as boiling down the feedback we have already received and actually starting to conceptualize projects and ideas. It is important to hear from you as members of the Hilltop community. So please RSVP at the link below! RSVP HERE
BTW! We will also have pizza from LOPIEZ so please RSVP.
If you would like to see where we are right now with the process, here is a link to that initial report ~ Master Planning Project Report.
Thank you in advance for participating in this focus group activity. This is an important step in the master planning process, and your feed back matters in continue laying the foundation for this plan.
