Focus Group Meeting #2 – 10.9.18
The second focus group meeting explored two growth scenarios for West Memphis. Participants were divided into groups and ask to plan for the city if it met its economic development goals and grew rapidly or, in the alternative, plan for the city if meeting economic development goals were slower in being met. Outcomes were then aggregated and mapped to provide direction for focus group meeting #3 at which conceptual plans for West Memphis were developed.
