The Cville Dems will definitely be sponsoring one or more candidate forums, probably in coordination with the Albemarle Dems; we’ll announce details as soon as they’re worked out.We’re also wondering if people (you!?) would find it helpful for us to sponsor an informational forum about the upcoming Draft Zoning Plan (Module 1 of 3 available here) that City Council will be voting on in June. The party hasn’t taken a position, but it’s an important issue and we’re wondering if a panel representing a wide variety of stakeholders would be valuable in sharing the many perspectives held within the community.
So:
- Would you like to see some kind of panel/forum on Zoning?
- If so, what groups/people would you be most interested in hearing from?
- Any other thoughts about this that you’d like to share with us?
Please send your thoughts to cvilledemschair@gmail.com
