The neighborhoods identified city planning as a unifying theme of the forum.

Candidates will be asked detailed questions on how to plan for and fund the land use and transportation changes in North Central Austin required to support tens of thousands of new residents in the coming years.

ELECTION DAY IS COMING - GO TO A FORUM!
