Imagine Shawnee Focus Groups

As a part of Imagine Shawnee, we are looking for community engagement and feedback. We invited specific groups to take part in one of many focus groups that we held. These focus group are specifically for business owners, youth, educators, seniors, and downtown. 

These focus groups lasted approximately one hour and will provided an opportunity to discuss all aspects of Shawnee – development, infrastructure, parks and recreation, and more, as it relates to the targeted group.

The discussions from these groups will be reported to the Imagine Shawnee Steering Committee and the City Council to help make the guiding recommendations for the future of vision of Shawnee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who selected these specific focus groups?
The Imagine Shawnee Steering Committee selected these five focus groups. 

These focus groups provide a demographically diverse group of Shawnee and will be asked to participate in a guided discussion about Shawnee's future.
What about residents who fall outside these specific focus groups? For example - ages 26-54 who are not educators or business owners?
There are many opportunities for the general public to weigh in for Imagine Shawnee. 

The first Imagineering Session was held July 15 from 4-6 at Transport Brewery. The second opportunity was held this past Saturday from 9-11 at Erfurt Park. The third session will be held September 12 from 6-8 at Tomahawk Hills Golf Course. 

With these sessions we tried to distribute locations, times, and days of the week so we could hit as many residents as possible. Additionally these sessions are 2 hours each so we can make sure all comments and discussions are captured.
