Wyoming Rural Development Council's Priority Setting Meeting

On Wednesday, March 31, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at the Laramie Recreation Center, the Wyoming Rural Development Council (WRDC) will return to Laramie for the Priority Setting Meeting of the Community Assessment.

In early November, 2009 the WRDC resource team toured Laramie and spoke with over 170 people across 14 different listening sessions. Each listening session participant was asked to respond to three questions:

• What do you think are the major problems and challenges in Laramie?
• What do you think are the major strengths and assets in Laramie?
• What projects would you like to see implemented in 2, 5, 10, or 20 years in Laramie?

Upon completion of the listening sessions, each team member carefully analyzed the main discussion topics, synthesized what was heard with their knowledge of programs and resources, and then combined these into WRDC's final report.

The Community Priority Setting will include a summary of the final report and provide a chance for all attendees to fill out top individual priorities and then work in small round tables to identify group priorities.

Once the group priorities have been presented there will be opportunities to discuss the next steps and get volunteers to work on priority issues and projects. All citizens of Laramie and Albany County are invited to help determine the main priorities and set the future direction for the community. Please call LEDC at 307.742.2212 for further information or questions.

We hope to see you on the 31st from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Laramie Recreation Center!
