[Preservation] Monroe Park Workshop on Thursday

[Potterfield, Thomas T. - DCD]

HOW DO YOU ENVISION THE FUTURE OF MONROE PARK?


Once one of Richmond's most visited parks, Monroe Park today is underused and
worn looking.  The Park is situated in a prime location where downtown and the
Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) campus meet.  Here is a broadly diverse
and rapidly growing community including university students, neighborhood
residents, a variety of businesses, entertainment venues, and religious
institutions. How well does historic Monroe Park meet the needs of these groups?

Currently, planning efforts are underway to renew and revitalize Monroe Park,
one of Richmond's most unique open spaces.  We need your help in this effort to
ensure that future plans for the park reflect your needs and ideas.  Toward this
end, the Monroe Park Advisory Council, the City of Richmond, and VCU are
co-sponsoring a Monroe Park Workshop to explore the community's thoughts and
ideas for park improvements.

The Workshop will be held on Thursday, April 19th, 2007 from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM
in the first floor meeting room in VCU's Brandt Hall located at 720 West
Franklin Street. 

Monroe Park is your park.  Let's work together to plan  improvements that will
result in a place we will all frequent and enjoy.  Together we can ensure that
Monroe Park will be a place of great pride for generations to come.  

We look forward to working with you on April 19th.
