SCJ worked with San Juan County to update its comprehensive plan, concentrating first on updating a countywide planning vision and then organizing and reviewing the plan’s draft policy and designing public engagement activities to solicit comment. SCJ designed and led an extensive public engagement process by hosting multiple events on multiple islands. These outreach events included “pop-up” studios and community workshops, allowing us to engage passers-by in conversations about the county, its people, community aspirations, and challenges. The studios and workshops included mini polls, flipcharts, and sketch maps, allowing participants to weigh in on the vision and its policy consequences.
