- Gather information from stakeholders about what they know that might be helpful in planning the redevelopment of the site.
- Get feedback about the features, uses, and design attributes of a future project, possibly including visual preferences.
- Understand what attributes a future redeveloper should possess.
- Document concerns stakeholders have about the site, future development and future redeveloper.
- Understand how stakeholders would like to be kept informed of progress, key milestones for community involvement, and opportunities to affect development decision-making.
