Following the success of community-wide workshops held in November, the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) will host four additional public workshops in January, designed to explore where and how Juneau should focus development resources in the years ahead. In this hands-on, interactive experience, participants step into the role of a City Planner, working in small teams to navigate real-world challenges, weigh trade-offs, and make strategic decisions about Juneau’s future – all with limited resources and an unpredictable mix of opportunities and obstacles.
Registration is required and space is limited; registration is open to anyone. If you’re interested in joining, please complete the registration form to be placed on a waitlist.
