HOUMA - As the Planning Team for the Terrebonne Parish Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan continues its work, input from community residents is needed to make sure the plan is headed in the right direction. Terrebonne Parish residents and business owners are encouraged to help the Planning Team finalize the plan’s recommendations, goals, policies and strategies in a series of eight meetings set for Spring 2012. At these meetings, participants will be able to identify their top priorities for improvements throughout the parish. These priorities will help form the Planning Team’s approach to housing policy, transportation improvements, parks and recreation, environment, and land use over the twenty-year planning period. Residents should try to attend a meeting most convenient to them to share their thoughts about the future of the parish and their priorities-especially as they relate to sustainability and resiliency for the parish. These meetings are the second of two major rounds of community outreach meetings throughout the parish. Information received from last summer’s meetings was used in the development of goals, policies, strategies, and recommendations that citizens will review during the second round of meetings. Based on information received in the spring meetings, the Planning Team will bring a draft of the plan first to the Steering Committee for review, and then to the Houma-Terrebonne Planning Commission for an extended review and public comment period. If revisions to the plan are necessary, they will be made before the plan is adopted by the Planning Commission and sent to the Parish Council for review. Workshops include: Tuesday, February 28: Bayou Black Gym, 3688 Southdown Mandalay Road, Houma
Thursday, March 1: Montegut Gym, 107 Recreation Drive, Montegut
