Tornado Recovery Advisory Committee

The Committee will advise Mayor Spencer and the newly established Recovery Office on the City's recovery vision and priorities.

The Tornado Recovery Advisory Committee (previously the two committees: 1. Civic Leaders and 2. Resident and Community Member Recovery Advisory Committees) plays an integral role in the recovery effort by advising the mayor and the Recovery Office on a resident-centric vision for population retention, equity, resilience, and sustainable neighborhood growth in the aftermath of the May 16 tornado.
