Please describe any ways in which low‐income or marginalized communities/households were engaged in the creation of this project proposal: To engage residents in the 203 Project, the Town began by holding public input sessions. The sessions included: • Program and planning scenario presentations • Storytelling through architecture and experience • Parking + mobility strategy updates • Project progress updates After these public sessions, the Town held workshops to update stakeholders on the design process and distributed a public engagement survey.
