Focus Group Meetings. Focus groups can be a useful engagement tool in longer-range projects where it is helpful to test out ideas and messaging with a smaller group before taking new ideas and concepts to the public. In the case of coordinated planning, focus groups are good audiences to work through various strategies and alternative approaches, and operate as a “test lab”, so to speak. For the purposes of this project, there will be two to four focus groups made up of representatives from the target populations that meet over the course of the project. The focus groups should be made up of a wide swath of the representation for whom the plan is being compiled, diversity in age groups, abilities, genders, ethnicities, and income levels. Another option is to host “affinity groups”, wherein the groups consist of individuals with similar backgrounds, which sometimes makes it more comfortable for people to speak up.

Focus Group Meetings. The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the balance of our approach to public engagement to lean more heavily on virtual outreach. In reality, we have always received broader input from our online activities than in-person engagement opportunities. While we still greatly value face-to-face interactions with both our client and client communities, we are now operating under a unique set of circumstances. The ability to use Microsoft Teams and/or Zoom for focus group meetings still allows us to gather small groups of stakeholders together in a virtual space. We will work with the Town staff to create the stakeholder lists and a block schedule for two days of meetings (up to 12 one hour session). Upon request by any invitees, the Town will provide a reserved space in the Halle with technology in place to safely attend the meeting. We expect the Downtown Ambassadors to be involved in these initial meetings and continue to stay engaged throughout the process in both design direction and in encouraging the community’s participation.
