 We're doing our monthly lunch with the planner on February 19th right next to the visitor center in the Vista. It's at the corner of Gervais and Lincoln. We're going to be talking about population this month, which is everything from demographics like race and age to who we are as an individual or who you are as an individual that makes Columbia unique. So we want to talk to you all about your experience as Columbians and just anything in general that you want to talk about. So the comprehensive plan is really a city-wide plan and it's a plan that affects each and every one of us. So the input that you give the planning department and help us inform the process is really going to be reflective of what's going into the actual plan itself. It's without input we can't really do a good plan. So we want to hear from as many people as possible and from as many diverse options and diverse opinions as possible. So the lunch with the planner it's going to be from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock and it's really just a drop-in kind of conversational tone come for five minutes or stay the entire time where you're going to be talking to some of us in the planning offices and we just want to hear what you have to say. We're going to be talking about population. We want to know more about your experience of being a Columbian. We're going to be looking at age, about race, about sexual orientation and general things like that as well as the increase in population that we're expecting in the Columbia area. Where are we going to put all these people? What kind of services are they going to need? And how are we going to grow as a city to adapt to all those people coming here? So I can't really overstate the importance of being a part of this planning process. This is really a ten-year plan so things that if you look back ten years ago from 2009 we've changed a lot as a city and it was partially because of the planning efforts that happened back then. So what we're doing right now is really going to inform what the city becomes in ten years so we really want as much input as possible from the people who live and work and play in this city. So if you're interested in more information you can go to www.columbiacompus.org or you can follow us on social media at Facebook and Twitter. Our candle is at Cola Compass and if you can't make it to this legislative planner we'll be doing other events in the coming months so please come out, please show your support and please help us build the future of Columbia.
