The community participation process of Place-Based Planning was organized around three "workshop weeks". Each of these weeks included hands-on community workshops and meetings with planning working group members.

Step 1-Framework of Opportunities Workshops (March 27-31, 2006)

Objectives for the first of three community workshops included reviewing the overall planning process, discuss leading issues, identify important valued places in the Basin, and discuss opportunities for new investment, reinvestment and restoration.

Step 2-Alternative Futures Workshops (May 22-26, 2006)

The second workshop series provided an opportunity for participants to discuss what they want their communities to look like in 20 years. This hands-on workshop included exploring land use and transportation concepts that meet the "triple bottom line" of growing the region's natural, financial and social capital. These workshops were used to inform the Vision Summaries for the four Working Group areas.

Step 3-Action Plan Workshops (July 17-21, 2006)

The third series of workshops focused on strategies and related principles that capture the visions expressed by the communities in Step 2. These workshops informed the formation of the Draft Regional Goals and Policies document.
