Just a quick update,

Due to the lack of participation, the Thursday April 6th Public Voices discussion was cancelled.  Only 2 of the 6 people signed up attended.  Somewhat amazing when you think of all the major issues that revolve around land and the development of that land.

If you are still interested in attending one of these discussions, please check out the table below for additional discussion dates.  These discussion are open conversations among the participants and a great chance for the general public to get their voice heard and documented on this subject.

If you have any reservations about the legitimacy and intent of this discussion/process, please feel free to contact me.  I may be able to clear up some apprehensions.
