🌟 HELP SHAPE EUPORA’S FUTURE 🌟

For more than 50 years Eupora has not had a comprehensive plan to guide where our community is headed.

That changes now.

On Thursday, August 6, from 6:00-7:30 p.m. at the Eupora Civic Center, we invite every resident, business owner, property owner, student, retiree, community organization, and ANYONE who loves Eupora to join us for the first public meeting of the Eupora 2040 Comprehensive Planning Process.

This isn’t just another meeting.

It’s an opportunity to help answer some of the biggest questions facing our community:

• What do we want Eupora to look like in 10, 15, or 20 years?
• What should we protect?
• What should we improve?
• What opportunities are we missing?
• How do we create a community where future generations want to live, work, and invest?

The decisions made through this process will help guide future investments in housing, infrastructure, parks, transportation, economic development, jobs, and quality of life.

But here’s the most important part:

A better Eupora isn’t built by a handful of people sitting in a room.

It’s built when the community comes together, where every voice matters.

We’re intentionally building a big table because we believe the best ideas come from people with different experiences, different backgrounds, different neighborhoods, and different perspectives.

If you’re waiting for someone else to shape Eupora’s future, remember: someone else will.

We need you at the table.

No special knowledge is required. You don’t have to be an expert in planning or government. All you need is a willingness to share what you love about Eupora, what challenges you see, and what you hope this community can become.

Whether you’ve lived here your entire life or just recently made Eupora your home, your perspective matters.

📅 Thursday, August 6, 2026
🕕 6:00-7:30 p.m.
📍 Eupora Civic Center

🎁 Door prizes will be raffled throughout the evening!

Let’s imagine the future together, and then begin building it together.

Your Voice. Your Community. Your Future.
