COMMUNITY OUTREACH SUMMARY
Outreach Summary
The Fiesta Site Redevelopment Planning process began with in-depth research and analysis, followed by a robust public outreach and engagement process. Public engagement efforts included targeted outreach in and around the project site (including Wards 1 & 3 specifically) as well as broad public outreach to Henderson residents at-large via a variety of tools and methods.
View the full summary of outreach efforts here.
Community Input: Residents were invited to weigh-in on potential uses, amenities, scale and preferences via survey and visual preference activity. Residents also learned more about the project scope and timeline by city staff via an interactive open house format and online survey.
Completed Surveys: The City received more than 5,600 completed surveys within a 30-day comment period.
Resulting Community Preferences:
The top two identified primary uses/ themes for the site include:
- Tournament Sports Facility & Hospitality
- Family-Oriented Entertainment
The top two identified supporting uses/themes for the site include:
- Family-Fun
- Arts & Culture
Residents also expressed support in thoughtful creation of a ‘destination’ including a wide variety of additional uses such as arts and cultural facilities and event space.
The community prioritized incorporating the natural environment within the site design and utilizing climate-appropriate landscaping while also offering a diverse array of gathering spaces.
The community expressed a preference for low to medium scale development.
Residents expressed a strong desire for return on investment given the publicly funded nature of the site.
Following the planning process completion, the City developed a Vision document for use in recruiting a potential future developer for the remainder of the site and accompanying uses. The final Vision document is here: Fiesta Site Vision Document.
