WHO:
Orange County Government wants to hear from residents! Please join the conversation about the future of our community. Vision 2050, Orange County’s comprehensive plan, will guide our next phase of growth. The plan strives to protect natural resources and habitats, respect the diversity and character of established communities, increase transportation choices, encourage housing that meets the needs of every family, and connect vibrant places.
Town hall meetings are taking place throughout the county so residents can learn about the principles of Vison 2050, as well as how to participate using online tools and resources to share their thoughts.
Each town hall meeting is tailored to its region and community and will consist of brief staff presentations, question and answer sessions and panel discussions.
