(KAIR)--The second of two public input sessions to gain opinions on what’s necessary for Atchison’s future through what’s called “an exciting process to define a new vision through placemaking,” will be held Tuesday morning.

The concept of placemaking, defined as “a people centered approach to building strong, vibrant communities,” is at the heart of USDA’s Rural Placemaking Innovation Challenge to Create a Placemaking Action Plan, which awarded the grant to assist with funding of the initiative.

The first session, with both being held primarily through the online Zoom platform, was held Thursday, and featured comments from representatives of two of several groups involved with the process.

Among the speakers was Alex Holland, the Vice-President of Atlas Community Studios, and program project manager, who explained the focus on Atchison’s future is placed on three key priorities, housing, culture, and downtown revitalization.

A second session will be held online Tuesday morning from 8:30 until 10:00, with those attending asked to pre-register.
