The Great Expectations project of Philadelphia, PA (organized by The Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board and the Project on Civic Engagement at the University of Pennsylvania) is launching a series of citywide forums in which region residents will have the opportunity to read the final version of the Citizens Agenda for the current administration and talk with members of City Council about what it means for the future of Philadelphia. The completed agenda is based on citizen input from the Great Expectations Citizens Convention. The Agenda’s 12 priorities are: Arts and Culture; Budget and Taxes; City Services; Crime; Education; Environment; Knowledge Economy; Neighborhoods in Flux; Planning and Zoning; Poverty; Reform and Leadership; and Transportation. A forum is scheduled in each of the ten Philadelphia City Council districts beginning on February 19 and running through March 6. More information can be found at: www.greatexpectations07.com.
