ENGAGEMENT OVERVIEW <br />PROCESS <br />The City of Lino Lakes was dedicated to engaging <br />with residents about their goals concerning local <br />development, particularly those living near the study <br />area. To facilitate input, the city conducted community <br />open houses, elected official and advisory group <br />workshops, and stakeholder meetings to gather <br />priorities and feedback from residents and agency <br />staff. Residents were invited to learn about the planning <br />process and provide feedback. <br />These meetings provided key stakeholders with <br />opportunities to provide early feedback and identify <br />wants and concerns for development in the area. <br />Groups included: <br />• City Council and Advisory Boards <br />• Residents that live within or adjacent to the study area <br />• Leaders of Forest Lake and Centennial school districts <br />• Anoka County <br />• Rice Creek Watershed District <br />Throughout the planning process, residents were <br />encouraged to continually provide feedback, ensuring <br />that development goals reflected diverse community <br />priorities. Online feedback opportunities, including a <br />survey, interactive comment map, and digital comment <br />form, were also available on the project website. See <br />Index for the full engagement summaries and feedback <br />received. <br />VISION <br />The vision for the preferred development within <br />the Main Street Master Plan is an outcome <br />from the community engagement process that <br />occurred in 2024-2025.
