Key efforts include a site design for a non-motorized pathway, as well as implementation strategies, funding opportunities and ideas on how the river can be used to support new economic development opportunities.

From 7-9 p.m., those attending will be asked to weigh in on updates to the recreation master plan.

In a September special meeting of the City Council to consider the plan update, Mayor William F. Galvin made public engagement a priority of the planning process and requested that “Farmington’s diverse population also be included in the public feedback phase of the project.”

At the same meeting, the city hired LSL Planning to provide expertise in public engagement and recreation planning.
