Press release:
Public workshops have been scheduled for the Genesee 2050 Comprehensive Plan and Recreation Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan update will help Genesee County craft a new vision for its future and strategies to realize that vision. The new Recreation Plan will help the county better respond to residents’ wants and needs for recreation facilities and better connect existing assets with residents.
Both planning processes will be discussed at the public workshops. Interactive activities will help draw participants out on how they want the county to develop and allow everyone to bring their ideas to the projects.
Public engagement is a crucial element of the process to ensure residents and stakeholders are aware of the planning process and that everyone has ample opportunity to weigh in. The workshops have been scheduled for 1 p.m. Jan. 19 and at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 20.
The workshops will be held virtually on the Zoom platform. The content of each is identical, so participants need not plan on attending both, although they are welcome to do so. Everyone planning on attending either meeting must register in advance. Registrations are accepted by email to Eve Holberg at: eholberg@jklastudio.com. Zoom meeting login information will be distributed to registrants via email before the meetings.
Information about the meetings as well as about the projects as a whole are posted online at www.Genesee2050.com. This site also includes links to surveys including the Genesee 2050 Comprehensive Plan survey, recreation plan survey and shorter mini-surveys on specific topic areas.
The meetings and surveys are open to anyone who cares about the future of Genesee County. Everyone is urged to participate.
