The story
A real story, the box the Toolbox built for it, and what readers can still do today.
Each time you open this page, the Toolbox picks the most recent Planet Detroit story whose box has the most still ahead of it — meetings not yet held, comment periods still open, officials still deciding. The headline and link are at the top of the box.
The Toolbox read the story and found the public bodies deciding, the meetings coming up, the officials to contact and the organizations already at work; an editor checked every line before publishing. Meetings drop out of the box once they have passed, so what you see is what is still ahead.
What’s in the box
- Why it matters and who’s deciding — two plain sentences.
- Upcoming meetings you can attend, with agendas and calendar links.
- Open comment periods and deadlines, while they are still open.
- Elected officials for the place the story is about, with email and phone.
- What you can do — concrete actions, and a tick to say you did one.
- Organizations to follow already working on the issue.
