La Feria City Manager

• Overall the process was effective. The SET participants coordinated with the other groups including foundations, universities, transportation providers etc and they have taken steps to incorporate some of the ideas raised at the planning sessions.

• I loved the SET process as far as the exchange of ideas. There was a large variety of folks with different backgrounds, experiences, and education. This allowed for a lot of learning and sharing and really some wonderful ideas that need to be pursued throughout the RGV. I was able to walk away with valuable information. The goal was to utilize this information to move forward to implement.
