Blueprint Forums Slated

The San Joaquin Council of Governments is starting a second round of Blueprint public outreach and community workshops in May. The SJCOG Blueprint team will be reaching out to local residents during a series of community workshops scheduled in various cities and in the unincorporated areas of San Joaquin County.

The goal is of the workshops is to provide folks a forum for describing what they’d like the region to look like in the year 2050. What will the parks be like, the roads, the highways, the shopping? How about the environment, the business opportunity and housing? These workshops are designed to be fun, interactive and engaging for residents of all ages. Participants will be presented with a series of growth option scenarios to discuss, debate and decide which scenario best fits their vision of the San Joaquin County region in the year 2050.

In addition, during May and June, SJCOG staff will conduct a “Blueprint Road Show” to provide information to local city councils, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors, partner agencies and community organizations.

Share your vision for San Joaquin County and please attend one of the dozen community forums scheduled. The first will be held May 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the COG conference center, 555 E. Weber Avenue, Stockton. The second is May 27, 6:30 p.m. at United Cerebral Palsy Association, 333 W. Benjamin Holt Drive, Stockton. The events are free and open to the public. See the full schedule for more details.

Questions regarding the Blueprint process can be directed to Anthony Zepeda, (209) 468-3913.
