Colorado State University Design Project Grant Reid, the CSU professor in charge of senior projects in the Landscape Design Program, would like to meet with HFAB in November.

Goals Update The goals, revised 6/10/02 were reviewed and the committee opted to accept items 2 -6.

Address lack of public outreach concern by utilizing various media and collaborating with other city advisory boards and pursue demonstration projects. 3. Review Gateway Landscaping plantings and replenish if necessary. 4. Implement the Landscape Beautification Master Plan as budget allows. 5. Redevelop the Arboretum Master Plan.
