Planning and Development Connectors
The Planning and Development Department hires paid volunteers, called Community Connectors, to help with public outreach for various projects and cases. The department looks for trusted leaders in the community that they can partner with to create a direct method to cultivate the two-way exchange of information and strengthen the relationship between city departments and the community.
Planning and Development has Community Connectors for projects such as Southern and Western BRT Station Area Plans. The department also has community connectors for the Rezoning Program. Connectors are hired and trained according to specific standards and applicants must indicate which role they are interested in.
