Moving Livability 22202 Forward Zoom Meeting

[ 0 ] July 23, 2020 |

AHCA, ARCA, And CCCA are hosting a joint meeting to provide a progress report and future outlook on the Livability 22202 work.

The Housing and Open Space working groups will be presenting findings and recommendations, and the Route 1 and Underground working groups that are still getting started will share initial goals.

These efforts are being taken very seriously by the County and other stakeholders, and could have a great influence on how our area develops. So it’s important to hear the consensus ideas we’ve come together on, provide your own input, and show your support.
