In a community meeting last night, the DLBA’s paid consultant, Brad Segal, presented an overview of the new PBID, fielded questions, and heard many suggestions about changes to the draft plan. He said that, for the next 45 days, he, DLBA staff, and board members will make themselves available to meet with stakeholders, take suggestions, and hear concerns prior to revising the plan. They expect the revised plan to be made available in January of next year.
