The third public meeting is in person and planned for August 3, 2021, from 5:30 – 7 p.m. at Wheat Ridge City Hall, 7500 W. 29th Ave. in Council Chambers.

For those unable to attend in person, there will be an online activity available from August 3 - 10 on the project page: https://whatsupwheatridge.com/lutheran.

Input will be used to refine the preferred concept(s) for the master plan and is being requested about a few different concepts that propose residential, office, civic, retail, and open space uses in different areas of the property.
