⚓ Newport City Council will host a workshop on Thursday regarding “Strategic Plan Consultant,” according to a meeting notice published by the City Clerk today. The meeting will take place at 5:30 pm in the Conference Hall at Innovate Newport.
What’sUpNewp followed up with Newport Mayor Xay Khamsyvoravong for more background on the reason for the workshop.
“Earlier this year the Newport City Council made updating its Strategic Plan (last done in 2017) a priority,” Mayor Xay told What’sUpNewp. “The Council then selected Raftelis, to help us craft the plan through a process that will include public engagement and feedback”.
Mayor Xay continued, “This session will be the Council’s first meeting with the consultant to discuss the process we’ll be going through and to answer any preliminary questions. Because of its significance, we wanted to hold a special workshop to focus on it”.
⚓ The cult classics continue at The JPT on Wednesday night as we partner with The JPT to host a screening of Point Break (1991). The evening will include live music by We Own Land and our friends from Rejects Beer Co. will be in the house.
