<P>October Community Conversations!!!</P></B>
<P>What about Neighborhood Planning Organizations?</P>
<P>Monday, October 8 from noon to 1 P.M.</P>
<P>Centennial Room, University Inn</P>
<P>EVERYONE IS WELCOME!</P></FONT>
<P>Join us from noon to 1 PM MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2007, to talk about citizen
participation and planning for Moscow neighborhoods (no host lunch available…
set prices this time for either sandwiches or salad at the University Inn/Best
Western; lunch is not mandatory!).</P>
<P>We’ll be taking a look at Moscow’s FIRST experiment in neighborhood planning
from 1979-83 with the Fort Russell Neighborhood Planning Organization and
considering how 21<SUP>st</SUP> Century Moscow could benefit from a neighborhood
planning structure. Could planning decisions reflect neighbor concerns and
creative, profitable development opportunities? Could citizens make their voices
heard at a time when it mattered to the decision-making? Could local officials,
elected and appointed, be held accountable for positive, productive outcomes for
our community’s future? Neighborhood planning organizations in other communities
have made a difference in many other towns across the nation and especially in
the Northwest.</P>
<P>Learn about neighborhood planning organizations and share your views. More
information or questions, contact Linda Pall, Moscow City Council, 882-7255 or
