The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is a group of leaders from neighborhoods and local organizations who may be affected by the revive285 project.They are regularly invited to project debriefings and are tasked with representing their constituents and communicating what they have learned.The CAC provides an open format for more detailed discussion on a regular basis.The CAC’s opinions and input are valued by the partner agencies, and the committee serves as an advisor to those responsible for making the final project decisions. That said, the CAC itself is not a decision-making body. CAC debriefings and meeting notes are archived here.
