The November 13 Vision Workshop asked residents to brainstorm about Southern Pines’ future - on a wide range of topics including parks, transportation, housing and education. Participants wrote their thoughts down on table-sized worksheets, for transcription aiding development of the “vision” section of the future long-range plan.

Due to time limitations, not everyone was able to comment on the full list of topics. Some residents couldn’t attend that night. Some may have additional thoughts to add on key topics, and want them included in the discussion.

Here’s a handout-sized version of the same Vision Workshop exercise, with a number of ways to submit your thoughts. Download the file below, then print it out and fill it in by hand, and mail or FAX it to us at the number listed. Or, you can type in the comments fields using your computer, and either print it out and send it in, or click to e-mail the completed form to us. Our downtown Drop-in Center is an option, too, for copies of the form or for submitting printed copies.

In any case, we’ll include all thoughts and ideas along with those received at the Workshop. Keep in mind, this is a vision exercise, so feel free to dream about how Southern Pines ought to improve - or retain - its key services and qualities.
