Mayor Ben Short update: Trussville’s Future Gen Plan virtual workshop now open

Last Updated: May 15, 2026By

The consultant team for the new comprehensive plan created a virtual workshop for community members who could not attend either the in-person Opening Presentation and Mapping Exercise held on April 16, 2026, or the Community Ideas Exchange Workshop held on May 7, 2026. The virtual workshop provides additional opportunities to be heard in a way organized around the same mapping exercise and survey stations used at the two in-person events.

The virtual workshop is geared to be a digital-twin of the two in-person events to the greatest extent possible. Feedback from the website will be combined with input from the two in-person events for reporting. You can access the workshop activities by clicking the “virtual workshop” button on the blue banner on the home page of our website:

Then be sure to click the ten “participate” buttons in the boxes underneath the photo from our live event to access the mapping exercise and all the station exercises created for the virtual workshop. You can always come back to the landing page for the virtual workshop by hitting the “Return to List of Survey Stations” link (in red text) at the bottom of each station survey.

You can start and stop in the virtual workshop as you wish. Some participants decide to complete the mapping exercise and all nine stations in one sitting. Others complete them over multiple visits.

The virtual workshop will close on May 26, 2026, so the consultant team has enough time to combine the input received from both the in-person and virtual events.
