Open
House Events Scheduled for Windsor General Plan Update
Windsor, California (February 4, 2016) – The Town is offering three open house-style
events for the community to participate in the update of the Town’s General
Plan. Each meeting will have the same topics but is being offered at three
different dates and times to allow busy residents to pick the day that works
best for them.
The first open house will take place at Windsor Middle School’s Multipurpose Room on Tuesday, March 1 from 6pm-8pm. The second will be at Windsor High School’s Multipurpose Room on Saturday, March 5 from 10am-noon. The final open house will be held at the Mary Agatha Furth Center in Windsor on Sunday, March 6 from 1:30-3:30, and is intended to target the Hispanic community; Spanish-speaking translators will be provided, as well as activities for children.
The open house-style
events are expected to attract greater community participation in the update of
the Town’s General Plan. A general plan is a long range document that is
considered the Town’s constitution or blueprint because it guides growth,
traffic patterns, housing and more for the next 20 years. Information will be
shared and residents’ feedback received in a less formal venue than the typical
Council meeting. The focus of all three events is to present potential land use
patterns for Windsor’s future, educate residents on the potential benefits and
impacts associated with the land use alternatives, and solicit feedback on
preferences for how the Town should plan future growth and development.
