NEWS RELEASE    Contact:  Mitch Glaser, Department of Regional Planning, (213) 974-6476                                                                             September 24, 2009   County Invites You to Town Mapping Meetings   The Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning continues with Town & Country, an effort to update the Antelope Valley Area Plan, by hosting five public meetings this Fall to focus on land use changes in the Antelope Valley.    The Area Plan, last updated in 1986, governs land use in the unincorporated areas of the Valley and must be revised to reflect current conditions and to guide the growth and change that will occur over the next 20 years.   The purpose of these meetings is to offer community members the opportunity to participate in a community-specific land use mapping exercise where they will be able to sit down with a map of their community and share their thoughts on where future development and conservation should take place.   Given the vast area the Antelope Valley covers, five meetings will take place.  Each meeting will focus on a set of specific communities; thus, it is strongly recommended that community members attend the meeting under which their community is listed.   Dates and locations for the “Mapping” meetings is as follows:   Wednesday – October 14, 2009 7:00-9:00pm Acton Community Center 3742 Nickels St Acton, CA  93510 Communities to attend October 14 meeting:  Acton, Ravenna, Vincent   Wednesday – October 21, 2009 7:00-9:00pm Lake Hughes Community Center 17520 Elizabeth Lake Rd Lake Hughes, CA  93532 Communities to attend October 21 meeting:  Elizabeth lake, Fairmont, Gorman, Green Valley, Lake Hughes, Leona Valley, Neenach, Sandberg, Three Points   Wednesday – October 28, 2009 7:00-9:00pm J.
