Last week we presented the results of our Countywide Needs Assessment, the result of 14 months of study and hundreds of hours of community input.
What we learned — nearly every community in the County has some kind of important park need, whether it’s a new park, upgrades to existing parks, playgrounds, ball fields, recreation centers or senior centers, open space, trails, or beach improvements.
We listened. We heard you. And we’re ready to address these vital needs that will strengthen the health and well-being of our citizens.
FOLLOWING OUR PRESENTATION, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO HEAR A PROPOSAL FOR FUNDING OF COUNTY PARKS AND OPEN SPACE NEEDS AT THEIR JUNE 21ST MEETING.
To gather more community feedback, a series of events will be held throughout the county in the month of May. Schedule of upcoming meetings:
