Emporia residents urged to help set city’s ‘action plan’ during next week’s visioning meetings

Emporians are asked to give their thoughts on community needs and goals during a pair of visioning meetings on the calendar next week. … This part of the process connected to funding through the US Department of Agriculture’s Rural Placemaking Innovation Challenge approved for Emporia back in November.
