Take a look at the game plan to see how you can support the cause along the way:
Create outreach materials to educate the public about the proposed name change, organize local meetings and events to engage the community, and gather support from community leaders and organizations.
Submit the petition to the city council, attend city council meetings to present the proposal, and answer any questions or concerns from council members.
Work with the city council as they create a resolution or ordinance to formally propose the name change and potentially involve other local government bodies or conduct a public hearing to gather additional community feedback.
Attend the public hearing to present the proposal, address any concerns from the community, and use the feedback to make necessary adjustments to the proposal.
The city council will vote on the resolution or ordinance to change the city's name. If it passes, the name change process will continue to the next step.
Coordinate with the Commonwealth of Virginia to officially change the city's name by submitting documentation and completing any necessary legal paperwork.
Notify various federal and state agencies. Update city signage, maps, documents, and online resources to reflect the new name, and coordinate with local businesses and organizations to update their materials and references to the city.
Host a city-wide event to celebrate the name change, promote the new identity of Little Falls, Virginia, and continue to engage with the community to foster a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all residents.
