Get Engaged!

Community outreach for the General Plan Update will focus on connecting community members to their community, sharing information about the General Plan Update, and soliciting input from all residents. Engagement is designed to be varied in depth, impact, and reach to allow community members to participate in the planning process in ways that suit your interest level and availability. See the calendar of events below. Check back regularly for new events and opportunities to share your input! We hope to see you at upcoming events.
