City Manager Mary Babcock introduced the first subject, zoning.
“Over the last couple months, we have talked a lot about zoning, and one of the things that keeps coming up is placemaking.”
Babcock defined placemaking as, “making the city a more livable place to work, play and learn in, and creating different spots in the city that are welcoming. Making places that people care about and want to be in.”
Babcock mentioned placemaking involves bringing in businesses that attract people, which would bring in jobs and attract workers. The workers would “also have to have a place that people want to live to help us advance the community.”
