For those who want to make sure they are able to consume every single meeting of the Charlottesville City Council, interim City Manager Michael C. Rogers has good news.
“Our strategic planning retreat will be this weekend and we’re looking forward to it,” Rogers said. “And the event will be livestreamed so we will have our citizens watching in as we contemplate the future of our great city.”
The event will be held at the Hillsdale Conference Center on bus Route 7 beginning at 4 p.m. Friday and continuing Saturday morning. It’s likely you can watch that on the city’s video streaming page but the event is not listed as of publication time.
While this may seem like a boring event, the strategic plan itself is a key document used to guide the day-to-day activities of local government. In late January, the city announced the hiring of the Raftelis Group to oversee the overall creation of the plan.
