The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce, United Way of Greater St. Joseph, and the St. Joseph Community Alliance are inviting residents to help shape the future of the city on Feb. 24.
The morning-long event, held at inspireU, 521 Felix St., is dedicated to the "Imagine St. Joseph 2040" initiative, focusing on community vision, expert insight, and local voices.
The morning kicks off with a keynote breakfast featuring Rebecca Ryan, a renowned futurist who assisted in developing the original 2040 plan. She will return to share her expertise on emerging trends and the specific opportunities that lie ahead for communities like St. Joseph. This session is open to the public; however, registration is required to cover the $25 cost of the meal.
Following the breakfast, the focus shifts to hands-on collaboration during the 2040 Workshop. This interactive session is designed to evaluate the progress of the current plan and gather fresh input to update the city's roadmap. This portion of the event is free and open to the public, providing a platform for everyone to contribute to the community’s long-term direction.
