LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – In January, the county of Lake began a process of community visioning, by getting out into the community, listening to people’s needs and priorities, and taking strategic steps to create a brighter future.
The community made it clear that economic development is a high priority, and the Lake County Board of Supervisors responded by making it one of the 10 pillars of its 10-year plan, Vision 2028.
Additionally, the board supported that commitment by contributing to development of a series of community visioning forums on the topic resulting in the formation of an economic strategy.
The Lake County Economic Development Corp., or LCEDC, will host the final two public forums on October 24 and 25.
LCEDC is a coalition that includes the county of Lake and cities of Clearlake and Lakeport, community business leaders, and experts in the areas of workforce development, real estate, banking, health care, and education.
Renowned North Bay Economist and Sonoma State University Professor Robert Eyler will lead the final two public meetings.
The first three meetings took place in June in supervisorial districts 1, 2 and 4 respectively.
The meetings have contributed to creating a plan that offers an honest look at the realities, possibilities and opportunities for Lake County’s economic health and well-being, by focusing on economic sector opportunities.
The economic strategy community public meetings are scheduled as follows:
– Wednesday, Oct. 24, from 6 to 8 p.m., Kelseyville High School Student Center, 5480 Main St.
– Thursday, Oct. 25, from 6 to 8 p.m., Robinson Rancheria Ballroom, 1545 State Highway 20, Nice.
For more information, call the County Administrative Office at 707-263-2580 or the Lake County Economic Development Corp. at 707-279-1540, Extension 101.
