Get Involved

This is your opportunity to help shape the future of Dolores. The first phase of the planning process is about thinking big. 

The Town wants to hear what makes Dolores special to you, what could work better, and what you hope to see in the years ahead.

Over the coming months, this website will be your hub for learning about the project and sharing your ideas as the plan takes shape.

There are many ways to participate—whether you prefer to read, map, share, or show up in person.

GET INFORMED:

Explore past plans, studies, and background information to understand where Dolores has been and where it could go next. This page will continue to grow as new materials and resources are added throughout the process.

SHARE YOUR IDEAS:

Your voice matters. Visit this page to respond to surveys, answer questions, and provide feedback. Engagement tools will evolve as the project moves forward, so check back often for new ways to participate.

ADD YOUR COMMENTS TO THE MAP:

Some ideas are best tied to a place. Use the Idea Map to highlight locations you love, identify areas for improvement, and share place-based ideas for the future of Dolores.

ATTEND AN EVENT THIS SPRING OR SUMMER:

Online engagement is important, but nothing replaces face-to-face conversation. Visit the Meetings and Events page to learn about upcoming workshops, open houses, and community events.


Together, we can create a plan that reflects the values, character, and aspirations of the Dolores community.
