DURANT – The City of Durant will host a special City Council meeting on March 6 in the cafetorium at George Washington Elementary. The special session will be held in a town hall format and is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
At the meeting, the results of the Community Perception Survey will be presented by the University of Central Arkansas Center for Community and Economic Development. The City has collaborated with UCA and Southeastern Oklahoma State University to compile local data regarding community safety, economy, education and more. This information will be shared in conjunction with the final survey results.
Following the presentation, the audience will have an opportunity to engage in discussions with the City of Durant and UCA representatives.
Members of the community are encouraged to attend and participate. Conversations and feedback from the meeting will be taken into consideration for strategic, long-range planning that will shape the City’s plans for the future of Durant.
