Announcing the OneLIC Oversight Task Force

This Task Force has been convened to oversee the commitments laid out in the OneLIC rezoning that passed in 2025.

Together, residents and community leaders will meet regularly with city agencies, gather updates, and share them with the public to ensure all the commitments are being met on time.

Stay updated for the full website, commitment tracker, and first public meeting—coming in June.

Pratt Center for Community Development is proud to facilitate the Task Force. The Center will help with meeting facilitation, strategic planning, and co-developing the governance model with task force members.
