ThinkWithUs Day new residential area between Arriën and Ommen: think along on March 25
The municipality of Ommen is continuing work on the development of the area between Arriën and Ommen, known in the planning as Vlierlanden phase 3. A new residential area will be created here. After a first, well-attended round of ThinkWithUs Days in January, the municipality invites you to think along again about the next step: the design phase.
Date: Wednesday, March 25Time: 1:00 PM – 8:00 PMLocation: OBS Het Palet, Haarsweg 91, Ommen
At the end of January, more than 350 people visited the first ThinkWithUs Days. In two days, many ideas, wishes, opportunities, and concerns were gathered. Based on this input, we have started the design phase. During the ThinkWithUs Day on March 25, we will show which possibilities there are for the area. We would also like to hear what you think about it. With your reactions, ideas, and suggestions, we will work together towards an urban design that fits this part of Ommen.
What can you expect?
During the ThinkWithUs Day, you will get a glimpse of the first design directions for the new residential area. You can react to the possibilities that lie ahead and indicate what you think is important to include in the design. Together, we will continue to build a residential area that connects with the surroundings and the community.
