5 <br />Task 2.2: Coordinate Focus Group Meetings <br />LISC will coordinate with the City project manager on scheduling, issuing invitations, providing handouts, creating agendas, <br />and moderating the meetings. LISC will also lead all logistics for the meetings and coordinate with designated City staff to <br />get feedback on materials and scheduling. <br />Task 2.3: Produce Focus Group Feedback Document <br />After each session, LISC will create a summary document covering key themes from the conversation, points that require <br />further investigation and exploration, and potential policy implications raised. <br />Task 2.4: Assemble Documentation for Meetings <br />LISC will prepare agendas and provide relevant pre-read and background materials to ensure participants are prepared for a <br />rich discussion at each session. <br />Task 2.5: Stakeholder Discussions <br />As part of our coordination with the City project manager, LISC will identify relevant subject matter experts for the various <br />topic areas, both inside and outside of the City government. These conversations will allow the team to vet priorities and <br />concerns from the communities with transit, public space, and development partners for feedback. <br />Timeline: March 2024 – July 2024 <br /> <br />Deliverable 3: Redevelopment Considerations <br />For Deliverable 3, we will take a cohesive approach. The detailed data analysis from Task 1 will be combined with the <br />insights gained in Task 2. We plan to make this an iterative process, ensuring that each set of findings adds context to the <br />other. Our goal is to gradually develop a layered, nuanced understanding of the area and then use those findings to identify <br />opportunity areas. <br />Tasks 3.1 & 3.2: SWOT and Opportunity Areas <br />Our objective is to catalyze equitable and sustainable economic growth by crafting strategic development opportunities <br />that may exist in the Westmont, Evergreen, and Holly neighborhoods, Kasch Park, and/or the SW Everett Station Area. We <br />will first conduct a SWOT analysis, taking a holistic look at the unique strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats <br />identified in Tasks 1 and 2. This will allow us to understand the interplay between market forces and community interest. <br />Out of this comprehensive examination, we will spotlight 3-5 strategic opportunity areas primed for catalytic and inclusive <br />growth. <br />For each priority opportunity, we will: <br /> Analyze infrastructure needs and timelines: We’ll explore likely requirements for utilities, surface water, <br />transportation, and other essential infrastructure components. <br /> Provide projections of economic and fiscal impacts. We will determine the economic impact on the city: Beyond <br />the neighborhoods and areas in focus, we’ll evaluate how these changes might ripple out to affect the broader <br />city’s economic health. These will be compared to a “no build” scenario.
