Leadership Committee

The City and Community Builders have engaged a leadership committee composed of interested citizens, stakeholders, and elected and appointed officials that are located in or otherwise connected to East Sherman. The committee acts as a leadership and advisory body for the project. The committee will work closely with City, CDA 2030 and Community Builders staff.

The key roles of the Leadership Committee are to:

Assist with Community Engagement and Outreach
Assist with the East Sherman Avenue Master Plan
Support the City with Implementation
