Planning for a space to reflect and remember
We are one. We are Highland Park. Together Highland Park Unidos.
The City of Highland Park is undertaking a trauma-informed planning process to create a permanent place of remembrance that will pay tribute to the memory of the seven victims of the Highland Park shooting, create a space(s) for reflection, remembrance, and solace, and honor the community’s resiliency, especially those who were injured.
Public Planning Process
A working group of elected officials and staff from the City, Park District of Highland Park, and Josselyn will guide the planning process and make recommendations to the City Council. All meetings are open to the public.
Community Engagement
Comprehensive community input will be sought before any final decisions are made by the City Council. The goal is to maximize the inclusion of different perspectives by offering multiple opportunities and formats to share feedback and ideas.
