City of Columbia to host second Community Summit March 14

(COLUMBIA, MO) ~ Columbia, MO - The City of Columbia is gearing up for its second annual Community Summit, set to take place on Saturday, March 14 at City Hall. The event, which will run from 9 a.m. to noon, aims to provide residents with a platform to share their ideas and opinions on shaping the city's future.

The Community Summit is a free and family-friendly event that welcomes residents to drop in at any time throughout the morning. Attendees can explore interactive booths and learn about current and future initiatives being undertaken by the city. This year's summit will feature fresh content, ensuring there is always something new for attendees to discover.

The booths at the summit will be aligned with the five strategic goals outlined in the City's Strategic Plan. This will allow residents to not only learn more about current city programs but also provide valuable feedback on their priorities.

At each booth, residents will have the opportunity to share their thoughts on major city services, potential improvements, and other important topics. They can also use "CoMo Bucks," play money provided by the city, to vote for which areas they believe should receive additional funding. This input will help inform decisions made by City staff and City Council in the future. Children are also encouraged to participate and share their feedback.
