Envision Midway is conducting visioning exercises to build broad-based
consensus about where and how growth should be accommodated in the Midway area.
Visioning exercises provide an opportunity for a diverse group of stakeholders
to ask the questions:
- How shall we preserve, support, and promote our strengths and assets?
- How shall we overcome the challenges we face?
- What do we want our community to be 20 years from now?
- What are the changes needed to move forward in this 21st Century?
For the City of Kent, Envision Midway will result in a Subarea Plan which
will be the blueprint for growth as it was envisioned through the process.
For the City of Des Moines, Envision Midway will result in joint/complementary
land use plans and development standards. Des Moines will also be
evaluating the role that Highline Community College will play in the development
of the Midway area.
A series of Open Houses and Workshops will be held through 2008 for the
purpose of hearing from property owners, businesses, and residents in and around
Midway - those who know and care about the area. With your participation
our cities will better understand the opportunities and challenges facing
Midway, and discover what is possible for its future. If you are unable to
attend and want to participate, you can do so on our website.
