TRCA Neighborhood News: Fwd: News Release - City of Alexandria Invites Public Input on Capital Improvement Program (CORRECTION: Please Note Day of Week)

[jagchad at comcast.net]

Friends & Neighbors-- 

Please see the announcement below for details regarding a tremendously important meeting on Thursday, November 6 , about the City's Capital Improvement Program. 

At the Clover-College Park Civic Association meeting this week, the Mayor (as he did at the TRCA meeting in September) and Council members described in general terms how the nation's current economic plight may affect City budgets and services. As you might imagine, the City is looking at opportunities for efficiencies but also at cuts to help weather the storm. Plans and priorities under consideration right now will specifically drive any adjustments they make. This meeting represents perhaps our best opportunity to hear what changes City leaders are considering, but even more importantly for us to influence their thinking by directly expressing our priorities. 

Please consider attending this meeting and explaining what matters most to you. Of course, TRCA's Executive Committee will continue to represent our neighborhood's interests zealously and thoughtfully. We hope to see you there. 

-- 
Chad Sarchio 
President, TRCA

The City of Alexandria invites residents to participate in a community meeting on the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) on Thursday , November 6, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Lee Center Exhibit Hall, 1108 Jefferson Street.

The community meeting will formally begin at 7 p.m. Attendees will break up into small groups to discuss the CIP projects with other community members and express their opinions about them. The meeting will conclude with a polling exercise where participants will answer specific questions about CIP priorities.
