Salem wants young people’s input on the future of the city. It’s asking Salemites between 14 and 22 years old to join one of three listening sessions this month as part of “Our Salem.”
Salem is in the process of overhauling its comprehensive plan, guiding how the city will grow in the coming decades.
At the forums, city planners will discuss how to make Salem more livable, equitable, affordable, and safe. There will be polls and question and answer time. Everyone who participates will have a chance to win a prize.
The hourlong forums will be held on April 24 at 11 a.m., April 26 at 7 p.m. and April 29 at 3:30 p.m.
Sign up here for one of the three events. A waiver is required to join.
