Seven County Input Crucial in Next Steps - Voice Your Opinion

As Central Florida faces the opportunities and challenges associated with the projected doubling of our population from 3.5 million citizens in 2006 to 7.2 million in 2050, our region has been given the opportunity to be the first in Florida to create a shared vision to answer the question, “How Shall We Grow?” And, we need your help!

Voice Your Opinion
Community “Input” Sessions

Community Input Sessions are being held in each of the seven counties. In these interactive meetings, you will have an opportunity to delve deeper into the cause and effect of the region’s projected growth.


What is a Community Input Session?
Citizens, Community Leaders and Elected Officials from throughout the Central Florida Region (Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk Seminole and Volusia Counties) are now involved in an intensive regional visioning process.  The goal of this effort is to create a shared vision... and we need you! 

Why is it important to attend a Session?
Community Input Sessions are being held in each county and are designed to gather citizen input in creating a shared vision for Central Florida. 

Who should participate in the Session?
These Community Input Sessions are open to everyone, and everyone is welcome to attend.  You are invited and so are your Neighbors and Family Members.  Leaders from your Place of Worship are welcome, as are Servant Leaders from any and all Community-Based Organizations and Civic Groups.  Your Business Colleagues are invited as well as Government Leaders from our Cities, Counties and State of Florida. 

Community Input Session Key Information
In concert with its Community Partners, myregion.org will host a series of meetings in each of the seven Central Florida counties to gain participation and feedback on the question, "How Shall We Grow?"  

These Community Input Sessions are divided into two parts and your attendance at both is crucial. For your convenience, you may choose to attend any of the meetings outside of your county of residence if your are interested in doing so.

Part One will provide an overview of why it is important to build a regional vision. Participants will then work together to make recommendations regarding where our region could best accomodate the addition of four million people by the year 2050.

Part Two will present two meeting opportunities on different dates and at different meeting locations in each county to make it convenient for citizens to participate.  In this session, attendees will be asked for ideas on how they would like to see their particular sector of the region grow.  Participation in only ONE of these two meetings is required.
