Breakfast Bites: 2030 Plan Update

The Breakfast Bites meeting on Dec. 11 will feature Nathaniel Waggoner, the City’s long range planning manager, and Housing Coordinator Susan Watkins presenting “The City of Georgetown 2030 Plan Update.” The informal meeting opens at 8 a.m. in the Friends Room at the Georgetown Public Library, 402 W.

Over the coming months an implementation plan will be reviewed by the 2030 Plan Steering Committee and City Council. For more information on the 2030 Plan update, visit 2030.georgetown.org.
