The Sierra Center for Community Options will be providing an El Dorado County Envisioning Community Event:
Saturday, December 4, 2010
8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
El Dorado Community Hall
6139 Pleasant Valley Road
El Dorado, California
This is a true grassroots community envisioning event - for the people, by the people. What does that mean?
Past economic development models have in fact led to taxpayer-subsidized big box stores, low-wage jobs, and high-density housing sprawl that brings traffic to rural roads, affects the scenic beauty and historical assets in El Dorado County, and destroys small independent businesses and wildlife habitat.
The alternative is that community members are invited drop in to the community envisioning event to help create the vision for high paying and meaningful jobs; sound communities; vibrant historic downtowns with independent businesses; and livable and quality neighborhoods. Help enhance our historic, environmental, and cultural assets by dropping in between 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the El Dorado Community Hall on December 4, 2010. This will be an informal drop-in event where you can anonymously - or not - post and communicate your ideas about what you want your El Dorado County communities to look like in the future.
The results will be presented to local Governments, leaders, and organizations. The results will also be available on this Web site and Local Channel 2 on Comcast.
