The community got a great opportunity to weigh in on some hot topics today during the Key West City Commission’s very first quarterly workshop. On tap were discussions on affordable housing, issues surrounding the KOTS homeless shelter and the Mallory Square panhandling zone. In addition, the commission heard a presentation by Monroe County Sustainability Coordinator Rhonda Haag regarding sea level rise throughout the Keys. Elisa Levy, who conducted a November retreat with the commissioners and City department directors, gave an update on the progress made since the retreat.

“This workshop was a great opportunity to explore these issues. This style of workshop creates an open dialog between the Commission and staff with valuable input from members of the community,” said City Manager Greg Veliz. “We’re looking forward to continuing this process to make real progress for Key West.”
