The City of Tacoma is working with residents, businesses and property owners to prepare a Subarea Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Martin Luther King Jr. Neighborhood ("MLK"). The completed Plan and EIS are intended to encourage development and economic revitalization in the MLK District on Tacoma's Hilltop. Over the next 12-18 months this project will establish a vision for future public and private investments in the MLK District and will integrate these investments with the needs of current residents, businesses and property owners.
One of the first steps is to conduct a public scoping process to ask citizens and organizations for their concerns, comments and ideas. The City of Tacoma is hosting a public scoping period to gather public comments on the issues and opportunities that should be the focus. The public scoping comment period will last from January 9, 2012 through February 10, 2012.
Join us at the scoping meeting to provide oral testimony on the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
When: Thursday, January 19, 2012
Time: 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Location: Evergreen State Community College, Tacoma Campus, Room 105, 1210 6th Avenue
