Technical assistance to organizations and agencies developing public spaces;
Community outreach to solicit input on public spaces and placemaking in the County;
Evaluation of plans and policies to assess progress towards meeting goals; and
Administering initiatives and programs that implement policies in places.
Our work is centered on placemaking, a set of practices that develops public space and a sense of identity in a place.
