Demographics
Public Meeting March 6th City of Independence
What did we hear? Public Meeting March 6th City of Independence Movie night would be great. Don t want to duplicate programming that already exists. (ex. band concerts, car shows etc.) Is the city willing to allocate funds for at least one administrator and support staff for events? Phased concept is adaptable good starting point at the fountain Activities and events we would like to see move kids events to center of town. Move home days to larger area for safety. Stage is nice for plays, free civic center No need for more parks. Ice events during winter including ice carving or partnering with Cuyahoga Valley National Park staff / Metro Parks for skiing / snowshoeing demonstrations. No apartments Seating at band stage should not be fixed seating but remain grass. Limit traffic Liked stormwater management / green infrastructure ideas Ice carving in winter like Medina
