Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to the monthly public meeting on the third Tuesday, 6 to 7:30 pm, at 2219 S 7th St. Before you go, email info@dswca.org to confirm the next date, because the group's site has not been updated since 2022..
You can just show up.
What to expect
The page describes the meeting as in person and does not mention Zoom. Neighbors share ideas and raise concerns, and the group talks over zoning and development requests in the area. The page does not say how long the discussion runs or how the meeting is run.
Tips for your first visit
- Email info@dswca.org ahead of time to confirm the date and place.
- Plan to arrive a little before 6 pm.
- Bring any questions about a nearby project or zoning request.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The meeting page says all neighbors are welcome to attend, share ideas, and raise concerns, with no membership or dues step listed. The site was last updated in 2022, so the schedule may be out of date..
