The City of Anderson wants the public to help chart the future.

On Tuesday night, close to 100 citizens gathered downtown for "Plan this City: A Community Visioning Workshop," the first of a series of events to find what the community sees as priorities for growth in Anderson. 

The feedback from the events will be compiled to help compose the city's comprehensive plan.

Those at the event formed groups which, using a map of the city, worked together to identify planning priorites, issues and opportunities and prioritize these to improve the long-term character, image and identity of Anderson.
