The Neighborhood Workshop is Around the Corner:
Let us know you will be there! Join us one week from today on Wednesday, November 17th at Stilwell Jr High (1601 Vine Street) from 5:30 to 7:30 pm for a Neighborhood Workshop as part of the Historic West Des Moines Master Plan Update. The event will be led by our project partners at Small Nation who will be highlighting Main Street stories that specifically hone in on experiences, case studies, and approaches relevant to the needs, issues, and opportunities facing Historic West Des Moines. Explore this website www.historicwdm.com to learn more, RSVP for the workshop, and share input on Community Character via the online poll which will be closing soon — thanks to all who have shared already.
And special thanks to the neighborhood organizations and friends of Historic West Des Moines who took time to share with us while we were in town last week. We learned a lot and enjoyed connecting with faces new and familiar. Please continue to spread the word about this important community event. See you there!
