We Need Your Input: Evaluate the Place-Based Plan
 Consistent with the BioDistrict's mission, we are continuing to develop a land use plan that is responsive to all constituents including neighborhoods, institutions, businesses and government. We have posted a preliminary “composite plan” synthesizing community comments and recommendations into one scheme. This is NOT a final plan, but rather another stage in our multi-step planning process. Your input and comments on this composite plan and the identified elements would be greatly appreciated.
