Joint PC / BOS meeting Mar 10th
Lisa Hirayama | Mar 1, 2015 on: The WDO

Hi Everyone,

One of the reasons the county has been slow in processing applications is that they are also preparing for an extensive review of development trends in Napa County, brought on in part by community activism this past year. One of the issues is how to accommodate a booming economy throughout Napa Valley.

On March 10, there will be a joint Planning Commission/Board of Supervisors community forum to begin a lengthy discussion, essentially on the future of Napa County. This meeting will be to find out where they see problems. The results could be an invitation for a larger discussion involving other jurisdictions, the wine industry and various groups to see how the issues relate to each other. It is a public forum and every individual or group that is concerned about that future is encouraged to attend.

If you are willing to speak your thoughts (3 min limit), it would be greatly appreciated. If you prefer not to speak, just attending the meeting will help show your support. The more voices and faces that the Supervisors/Planning Commissioners hear, the better for all of us who are concerned about Walt Ranch and all developments that will drain and destroy the natural resources that make Napa Valley our home.

It will be held on Tuesday, March 10 at 9:00 at 2741 Napa Valley Corporate Drive, Building 2. The huge turnout on 11/12 for the Walt Ranch Forum got the attention of the County---let's try to make this another eye-opener for them.
