Urbana's Market at the Square's Strategic Planning

In 2010, the Market began its first-ever strategic planning process to assist in planning the Market's growth and future.

Throughout 2010, the Market's steering committee and the public contributed to several public input sessions, held to gather information about stakeholder and patron needs and desires for the Market. Community investment in the Market, as it turns out, is enormous: nearly 200 people contributed their feedback during these forums and/or via email or fax. The feedback has been compiled and is available as a PDF below.

Several stakeholders, including vendors, patrons, and community groups, gave extra feedback via their stakeholder profile. Those profiles are available as PDFs below.

The steering committee is wrapping up its planning efforts in late spring 2011, and will have a document available to the public soon - keep watching this space for an update!
