Mission Statement:

The Grabhorn Park Ad Hoc Committees' purpose is to assist the City Council by making a final recommendation to the Council on the Grabhorn Conceptual Park Plan. They will assist the Council by representing multiple community perspectives and identifying design elements consistent with best practices as identified by City Council. 

The Ad Hoc Committee will ultimately provide Council two recommendations for development of the Grabhorn property, consistent with the Committee Bylaws. This is a limited duration Committee and its tenure will end after its final recommendations are submitted to City Council. For more information please see supporting documents below.
