The City of Manassas is holding a series of “Community Conversations”<\/em><\/a> to gather ideas, priorities, and visions for the community’s future from individuals, families, neighbors, business professionals, and community leaders. This is your opportunity to shape Manassas by sharing your perspectives and providing input on key topics such as quality of life, services, transportation, land use, and economic development.<\/p>\n

The Community Conversations <\/em>will dig deeper into the “why” of the top priorities to find location-specific issues and gauge if any priorities are missing from the list generated by the survey. The findings from both the survey and the Community Conversations <\/em>will assist the City in updating its strategic priorities and comprehensive plan. Join the conversation!<\/p>\n
