West Hollywood invites you to the kickoff of the city’s next strategic plan, WeHo 40, during a community open house event.
This gathering is scheduled for Saturday, March 2, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Kings Road Park, located at 1000 N. Kings Road.

You’re encouraged to join at any point during the event to dive into the project details, offer your feedback, and mingle with fellow community members. To ensure everyone can participate, translation services in Spanish and Russian will be available, and you don’t need to RSVP in advance.
This open house marks the beginning of a series of events designed to collect your feedback, which is crucial for shaping WeHo 40. The focus will be on visioning and goal setting, providing you with the opportunity to share your experiences, ideas, and perspectives through small group discussions and exercises. These activities aim to identify key goals and priorities for the strategic plan, encouraging you to drop in at any time to take part.
WeHo 40 signifies a pivotal moment in the City of West Hollywood’s history of strategic planning, inviting you, along with other residents, business owners, and community stakeholders, to contribute to setting priorities that will guide the city’s future direction. This effort builds on 40 years of municipal history and looks ahead to 2040, creating an inclusive and equitable roadmap for the City’s future, based on the successes of past strategic plans.
