CMAP Workshop a Visionary Experience!

Elburn Trustee Bill Grabarek gets ready to vote with his wireless keypad at Elburn's recent CMAP Planning Workshop. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning staff of high-tech facilitators guided over 5o participants in a truly interesting community visioning exercise yesterday at Fisherman's Inn.

Who knew community planning could be this fun?

Our participants selected aesthetic design, housing variety, and the opportunity for transit-oriented design as top priorities for future Elburn.

Using the keypads, audience preferences were tallied in a matter of seconds.

Next Tuesday, CMAP returns to Elburn for a follow-up workshop. So, that means even more sophisticated planning technology is on its way to Elburn. We'll be there, and thanks CMAP!
