Re: Next Meeting and assorted information

 

An agenda is attached for your next meeting, which will be Wednesday, April 19, 6-8 pm, at the Lee County Administration Building, 2115 Second Street, 1st Floor meeting room.

 

There has been a lot of activity since the last meeting.  Workforce Housing issues have been under much discussion from the private sector, and has been significant components of the work effort of the Horizon Council/EDC, and the County Community Development Department.  The environmental issues of storm water/water quality received a serious increase at BoCC direction, which is expected to be a sustained part of the long range work program.  Outreach has continued on the river and lake issues.

 

There are also items that are slowly grinding, such as the preparation of the overall Smart Growth recommendations as part of the Lee County Comprehensive Plan amendment package, due at the end of the year.  A reformatting of the Smart Growth recommendations under various initiative headings is provided as part of this agenda.

 

Attached for your review are the minutes of February’s meeting and the revised “Smart Village” concept.
