What do you love about Roanoke?
To celebrate Valentine’s Day in 2017, the City of Roanoke’s Planning Department launched a new community input campaign. Since then, City staff have attended numerous community events – ranging from Local Colors to the Deschutes Street Pub – to help promote the campaign and get feedback. This data has helped City Planners identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement on a wide scale.
