Uptown Planners

Planning groups are private organizations. The City does not dictate the election of specified members, nor does the City appoint members to planning groups. The City does not delegate legal authority to planning groups to take actions on behalf of the City. Planning groups are voluntarily created and maintained by the communities they serve.
