Residents of Lewisville have an opportunity to shape their city’s future at the Lewisville 2035 visioning event, an update to the city's long-range plan initially crafted in 2015 and revised five years later. According to the City of Lewisville, this participatory workshop will take place on Thursday, Sept. 18, from 5-8 p.m., at the Lewisville Grand Theater located at 100 N. Charles Street.
The event promises a mix of entertainment and civic engagement; the Old Town Brass will perform, a complimentary hot dog dinner will be available, and a community art project will take place, alongside Marco’s Room offering coloring and hands-on activities for children, but let's not ignore the central aim of the gathering—to solicit local input on priorities for the Lewisville 2035 vision plan.
In addition to the festivities, attendees will hear from speakers like local high school football coach Michael Odle and will find input stations dedicated to gathering their take on issues that matter to them. The city is making efforts to be inclusive, ensuring the event is family-friendly and open to people of all ages. Moreover, they have considered linguistic inclusivity—a vital move—in their provisions, offering real-time translation of English presentations to Spanish through the use of the Interpify app. For those needing the service, remember to bring personal headphones and a smartphone to access this feature.
