Neighborhood Hubs Workshop - Milwaukie Floral

Join city staff and the consultant team at an upcoming Neighborhood Hubs Workshop. The team has been gathering ideas from the community about next steps all summer long. Come learn and provide feedback about the ideas, potential zoning changes, and economic development tools available. 

The purpose of the Public Workshop series is to provide residents, businesses, and property owners an opportunity to weigh in and shape potential code updates to support and incentivize the implementation of Neighborhood Hubs concepts. Six workshops will be held at relevant neighborhood hubs at known or convenient locations. All members of the public are invited to participate.

Attending a workshop in person provides the opportunity to interact with staff, ask questions, and provide feedback on the ideas and proposals the team will be sharing. 

Please RSVP - To help staff better prepare for these workshops and make sure we have enough space, please RSVP by competing this short form on Engage Milwaukie.

What are Neighborhood Hubs? 

Neighborhood Hubs are gathering places where residents have easy access to goods and services close to their homes. They are places where neighbors create meaningful relationships with each other.  The Neighborhood Hubs project combines planning, placemaking, and economic development programs to increase access to goods and services in residential areas. The Neighborhood Hubs project will result in program and policy changes that will make it easier for Neighborhood Hubs to become a reality in the near and long-term future. The project is exploring a variety of tools that will help develop Hubs at various stages of growth while allowing a path for new Hubs to emerge.
