The Lot

We're excited to be undertaking a planning process for the enhancement of our well-loved green space, known as The Lot, located across from City Hall. We're considering possible improvements like hardscaping, establishing a permanent stage, putting up a visitor's center, and installing restrooms. Your perspectives, as dedicated members of the McMinnville community, are instrumental in shaping these plans and we need your valuable input.

Your local government's objective with this endeavor is not just to craft an aesthetically pleasing and functional space, but also to ensure that it's in line with the needs and wants of you, our residents. We can't emphasize enough how important your participation is in this decision-making process. We're eager to hear your suggestions and ideas that can bring life to The Lot, making it a truly community-built space. Your contributions will significantly impact the final decision, echoing the values and desires to make McMinnville even more welcoming to live.
