Hillsboro's ambitious vision for the future is steadily unfolding with the latest draw for the 2035 Community Plan Update, which, in a bid to foster civic engagement, is dangling prizes before its residents who offer their ideas and feedback—yes, for the sake of participation, you might fetch yourself some freebies. Residents have till September 30th to throw their hats in the ring, with the city promising that the bounty will only get bigger as more join the fray.
The most recent winners were published on the city's official website on July 30th, listing fifteen people who have scored $20 vouchers for the Hillsboro Farmers' Market, while the first round rewarded twenty individuals with $10 Dutch Bros gift cards.
The upcoming prizes are set to entice a wider participation; $30 to Pepper's Mexican Grill awaits 10 winners once 1,500 participants chime in, two-day passes to Next Level Pinball will be up for grabs for eight lucky souls at the 2,000 mark, and should the community input swell to 2,500, four groups will cheer on the Hillsboro Hops with free tickets. Further up the ladder, at 3,000 participants, six adventurous types will have the chance to fling axes at Blue Ox Axe Throwing with $60 in their holster.
