Over 40 residents and stakeholders took part in this mindmapping visioning exercise as part of Cape Girardeau's Comprehensive Plan, Cape Vision 2040. Bob Barber, FAICP with Orion Planning + Design facilitated the conversation, while Erin Cigliano, AICP with Teska Associates, Inc. graphically showcased the ideas and points raised by participants. Discussion focused on the desire to concentrate energy inward, within the City, rather than westward. Key components highlighted included retrofitting existing structures, updating codes, allocating necessary funding, more outdoor dining/patios, and enhancing strategic connections, corridors, and major destinations within the City.
