Fort Lauderdale - The City of Fort Lauderdale has launched the Neighborhood Development Criteria Revisions, a citywide planning initiative designed to preserve and protect neighborhoods by creating a vision to guide future development.

Public workshops will take place in each City Commission District May 11 - 14, 2009 to provide an overview of the project's goals, objectives, timelines and scope of work.

Topics to be covered will include: identifying issues related to neighborhood development; creating a vision for future neighborhood development; making recommendations for new guidelines to preserve neighborhood character; and protecting neighborhoods from over development.

The public is encouraged to attend a workshop and provide input. The same information will be covered at each meeting. If you are unable to attend the workshop scheduled in your Commission District, you are welcome to attend one of the other three meetings. The workshop schedule is as follows:
