Design Connect is a multi-disciplinary, student-run, community design organization based at
Cornell University. Formed in 2008, Design Connect provides design and planning services for
local municipalities and non-profits that may not have the resources to hire professionals while
offering practical experience to students.
The Village of Owego is collaborating with Design Connect to create a design and site plan for
the North Avenue Park based on community feedback. The community is invited to share their
input at the Community Meeting on Thursday, April 8. Everyone is welcome. Log on to share
your vision for the future park with the Village of Owego and Cornell University Design Connect!
In addition to community meetings, the Design Connect has launched a 10-minute survey to
gather input about the design of the park. The survey can be found at
www.villageofowego.com/park. Paper copies of the survey are available at Tioga County
Economic Development & Planning, located on the second floor of 56 Main Street in Owego.
