Public Engagement
Community engagement has been a key part of the planning process involving the public and key stakeholder groups such as the Rutland Residents Association, the Uptown Rutland Business Association and the Rutland Parks Society.
Adjacent property owners and businesses are kept informed through newsletters, City news releases, workshops, and Open Houses.
