LFP “Big Five” Coffee Meeting Saturday Nov 4

Mayor will be joined by other
elected officials on Saturday

Mayor Jeff Johnson said he had a “crazy idea” one day and that was to bring the salmon back to the City of Lake Forest Park creeks and streams.

Today that idea is coming alive with much more as City elected officials host a coffee on Saturday, November 4th from 9:00am to 10:30am at LFP City Hall Council Chambers to answer questions about the “Big Five” planning efforts.

Mayor Johnson said that he is looking forward to following through with the City Council Strategic Plan and all the “Big Five” visions they have outlined, as well as taking action to create regulations that helps anyone who wants to “invest in us” to do that in “the right way.”

City elected officials are wanting to hear your questions about all this.

What are the “Big Five?” They represent planning across the entire City. 

Ideally they will all interrelate together to bring solutions and ideas to enhance our community and improve living conditions going forward and into the next 50 years.
