Loganville planning kickoff draws strong online interest; officials encourage website feedback
Summary
Councilmembers said about 750 people watched the Build Better Loganville kickoff on YouTube; staff urged residents to use buildbetterloganville.com to submit comments and emailed questions for follow‑up, and discussed recording logistics for breakout sessions.
Lisa, chair of the Planning and Development Committee, reported that the Build Better Loganville kickoff generated strong public interest, estimating "over about 750 people" tuned in to the YouTube stream. She described the schedule for the multi‑day engagement—opening session and hands‑on workshops at city hall, day‑long studio hours for drop‑in participation, and topical breakout sessions on housing, infill and redevelopment.
Officials encouraged residents who cannot attend in person to submit comments via the project website (buildbetterloganville.com) and noted Rob Schwarz’s email address is available on the site for questions. Council and staff discussed technical limits to live streaming long breakout sessions at the rock gym (bandwidth/antennas) and agreed to record selected sessions for later upload; they plan to livestream the opening and closing sessions held in council chambers.
Council members emphasized accessibility and outreach: staff suggested email submission of questions when live interactivity is not possible, and encouraged flexible hours to allow after‑work attendance. The council also noted the consultant will present preliminary findings after the multi‑day engagement; those findings will not be a final plan but will summarize public themes for future consideration.
The Planning and Development Committee asked staff to post clear instructions on the website for submitting comments and to confirm which sessions will be recorded versus livestreamed.
