Lawrenceville hosts workshops to shape downtown master plan

Lawrenceville is seeking input from the community to improve the downtown core. The public is invited to share their thoughts and ideas by participating in one of three upcoming Downtown Master Plan Virtual Design Workshops.

During the multi-day event, the project team will incorporate public feedback into refined graphics and concepts that will help shape the overall master plan. Typically, these workshops occur in person, but with ongoing COVID-19 precautions the team will create concepts and graphics in a virtual format over video conference.

Workshops will take place 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 18, May 20, and May 25. Attend as many sessions as you like each day, but registration is required: https://bit.ly/32Gz1QG.
