A FUTURE IN QUESTION Residents share ideas on what they’d like from a new City Hall BY DAVID KENNARD
A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE HAVE TURNED OUT TO SCHEDULED ENVISIONING MEETINGS TO PROVIDE COMMENTS ABOUT the future of Buckeye's City Hall and learn what it might mean for downtown Buckeye. Exactly where it might go and what might happen to the city center building on Monroe is still unknown. The purpose of the Envisioning meetings was to allow residents to voice their ideas and concerns about the future of a new City Hall. Each of the meetings followed similar formats, relying heavily on public comment and collaboration with facilitators from SmithGroup, a national design firm that specializes in urban planning. “No decision has been made. We are in the first phase. … just to find out what a city hall should be,” said Madeline Dunsmore, one of the meeting facilitators. While no specific options for a new location were presented on Wednesday, three options were presented on what a new city hall might look like.
