A brief description of successful community stakeholder engagement outcomes from the previous three years:
The U of A and City of Fayetteville have undergone two major collaborative planning processes through co-funded third party consultants in the past three years. The first was a transportation master plan for the University of Arkansas and the second was a recycling and waste diversion master plan for the City of Fayetteville. Both plans required public surveys, public stakeholder engagement meetings, and formal meetings with countless key stakeholders from throughout Northwest Arkansas.
