Community Engagement

Community Engagement

Aggie Square’s commitment to our community is of utmost importance and a cornerstone of this project. Building community capacity through social and inclusive efforts helps ensure the vitality of residents that will contribute to a successful and thriving region.

Outreach and Engagement

Aggie Square is bringing together community voices to form a shared vision. Through our initial efforts of outreach and engagement, came the exchange of ideas with our local communities. These efforts have allowed us the opportunity to learn from and work together to help develop programs and initiatives to improve our communities. Through this collaboration, we will continue to learn about the needs, issues, and opportunities so we can help contribute to a vibrant, thriving region.

Community Interaction

For more than two years, Aggie Square has worked with various communities — neighborhood associations, community-based organizations, business organizations, chambers of commerce, and others — to engage in discussions regarding Aggie Square and the opportunities and potential challenges it may bring. During this time, more than 90 meetings have taken place.
