The City of Montebello hosted a 4-day Visioning Workshop from June 21-24.  The 4-day workshop informed, inspired, engaged, and collaborated with the participants in short feedback loops to develop a consensus on a citywide vision for growth, preservation, and renewal. 

The consulting team gave Noon talks on market demand; elements of vibrant places; mobility and parking trends; elements of great neighborhood; and codifying the vision. The Noontime presentations discussed trends, alternatives, and tradeoffs that inspired a spirited dialogue, which carried into the evening discussions. In the evening, the community came together to discuss various options for growth, preservation, and reinvestment. The project team worked in short iterative feedback loops. Based on the community feedback, the consulting team returned back to the drawing board to make edits and refine the concepts with details for the public and private realm. 

The Visioning Workshop was a collaborative and rigorous planning event that harnessed the talents and energies of individuals to create and support an overall vision for the City and the Downtown Specific Plan area.
