The session will start with a overview of the master plan effort, review of the Interview Session responses collected February 9^th & 10^th, an overview of 6 community case studies that include features that Norfolk might consider, conducting a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Analysis by participants, a Geographic “Mapping” exercise, followed by a Vision Statement Exercise. The Geograhic Mapping Exercise allows participants the opportunity to describe their vision for the project area.
