3 Ways to Have Your Voice Heard
As Destination Medical Center (DMC) progresses into a viable, exciting initiative, we continue to ask community for their ideas and feedback to help inform the planners as they build the DMC development plan. From unique ethnic restaurants to innovative solar roadways, we have heard a fascinating array of concepts to add to the city landscape. Yet, we always love to hear more.
Multiple DMC social media sites are active and regularly monitored, like Facebook and Twitter. If you come across an article regarding city innovations or a picture of an interesting invention, share it with us. Social media is a quick and easy place to direct your thoughts, or as we like to say, “brain dump” them onto us.
Community Conversations Tweet Chat
The DMC Community Conversations are this Thursday night. Interested in participating from the comfort of your own home or on the go? Participate in the “tweet chat.” Here are a few simple tips to get your started and tweeting!
Participation is simple. Make sure you have a Twitter account established and active. Follow the DMC Twitter account. Then join the conversation. Starting at 5:15p.m. on Thursday June 12, moderators for the Community Conversations will begin directing questions through Twitter around the eight core areas of focus. Topics will follow the same schedule of the Community Conversations sessions and will change topics every 20 minutes to a new core area of focus. Check out the schedule below. You can answer one or all the questions throughout the evening. You choose the amount of involvement you are comfortable with. Conversations can be fast paced; however, each response will be collected and added to the DMC ideas database, which is shared with the DMC planning consultants.
