Speaker 1, a Santa Fe staff member, urged community participation in the citys long-range planning process and said, "Good planning leads to good preservation and protection." The speaker described the general-plan effort as a 25-year visioning process and encouraged residents to visit santafeforward.org to take the survey.
The staff member said the effort will use land-use regulations, funding policies and land acquisitions for parks and the trail network as tools to help "contribute to the protection of the natural world." They told listeners the project seeks input "at every level of community and in every neighborhood, in every group and demographic" to help shape what the city will be over the next 25 years.
On the survey itself, the staff member said, "The visioning survey will allow you to select individual topics or take the entire survey," and added that "the survey results are directly impactful to the general plan." The speaker thanked listeners for visiting the website and for participating.
The city did not provide additional details in this exchange about deadlines, specific funding amounts or next steps for analyzing survey responses.
