What is Engage Bozeman ?

Engage Bozeman is the name of our City's Community Engagement Initiative and the home of our online hub where people can learn about and provide input on city projects!   

The Bozeman City Commission adopted the Engage Bozeman  Community Engagement Initiative in April 2021 as a guiding framework for how the community can contribute to decision making processes in our city. Engage Bozeman outlines our guiding principles of Equity & Inclusion, Trust & Transparency, and Innovation & Adaptation, establishes goals and metrics, terms, and tools for community engagement.

"An inclusive and ongoing process that relies on a two-way exchange of information, ideas, and expertise between the public and the City of Bozeman to solve problems and make sustainable decisions."

Our approach to community engagement means that decision makers, staff, and the public are all aware of which decisions have already been made and which decisions will depend on community input.

We are committed to providing information on the decision making process for each project, and how your input is being considered along with other decision making criteria, such as economic/financial, environmental, technological, and social impacts.
