Its role providing homeless services, emergency shelter up for discussion 

By Morgan Rothborne, Ashland.news 

The public is invited to attend a meeting to gather input and suggestions for the plans being developed by the 2200 Ashland St. committee for the building’s future, according to a release from the city of Ashland. 

The 2200 Ashland St. Master Plan Forum is set for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, at Ashland Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 87 4th St., Ashland. 

“This is your chance to learn more about the proposed plans, ask questions, and share your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable to us!” the release said. 

The forum will begin with a welcome session including background on the building, the purpose of the forum and the work completed by the committee so far, according to an event packet. The forum will also include information such as regional efforts related to homelessness, information about the 2200 Ashland St. property itself, site plan concepts and ongoing dialogue between neighbors and businesses of the site. 

The 2200 Ashland St. Committee began developing a long-term plan for the use of the property in June and is expected to present a recommendation to the Ashland City Council in November. 

The final master plan will align with contractual obligations to assist those experiencing homelessness, further community goals regarding homelessness and housing and “enhance the experience of the surrounding neighborhood,” according to the event packet. 

The city also invites the public to submit feedback through an online survey from Oct. 4 to Oct. 11.
