General Plan Update Town Hall Forum
One does not need to be a resident of Sierra Madre to participate in the survey, people who work, shop, or are otherwise involved are invited to provide input as well. Kids will enjoy the onsite “bouncy house” and free popcorn and cotton candy. This forum is a community wide brain storming session to help determine the vision to carry Sierra Madre into the next 20-30 years.
The focus of this forum is Families, Youth, Businesses, Services, and Institutions. This is the second in a series of forums in which the public is being asked to give the GPUSC guidance as they work to update the City’s General Plan. Every city and county in California is required to have a General Plan. A General Plan can and should be used as a long-term outlook that provides a basis for decision-making by City Council and appointed Commissions. Sierra Madre adopted its first General Plan in 1996.
