PROJECT LEADERSHIP
The initiative is led by Mayor Tom Barrett, Tony Pérez and Sharon Robinson. Additionally, we’ve launched several advisory committees for the project, one for each of the plan’s four focus areas and a steering committee. The committees consist of a diverse cross section of the community who are coming together to provide advice and counsel and help achieve the goals of the transformative plan. Are you interested in serving on a committee? Contact us to learn more!
