SCCO Meeting Tonight, June 1 – 7 PM

The Santa Clara/River Road Implementation and Planning Team have been working the last couple of years refining community input and researching options so that a neighborhood plan can be created that will reflect the vision of residents for the area for the next 20 to 30 years. Now that the City Council has given the permission and resources to begin the actual plan, SCRRIPT will need to be restructured so as to have a leadership group to guide the process. The June meeting of the Santa Clara Community Organization will consider this development and be asked to give its input and approval.

7:00 p.m.
