“CoSpero has done an excellent job with community engagement, and this is the model for how community engagement should be done.”

I’ve hosted probably four of these [community] meetings…I want to say CoSpero has done an excellent job with community engagement and this is the model for how community engagement should be done, whether in future projects they are selected as a vendor, or whether they apply or not, we should take this model and this should be the expectation for community engagement in the city.
