Introduction

One of the main objectives of the RCA process is to get residents, property and business owners, and community organizations involved in the project development and decision-making process. Several forums will be available for you to voice your opinions, concerns, and ideas. Your input will help the County develop the best possible improvement plan for Valencia College Lane (VCL). In addition to this web site, there are several forums for you to become informed and involved during the RCA process. Public information meetings and other meetings that will be held throughout the study are described below. Dates, location, and times of these meetings will be posted on this site as soon as they are scheduled. |
